Here is another common word that everyone knows. Right? So, what do the fisherman and the casino have to do with
bank? This
link takes you to multiple definitions. Most people are familiar with the first meaning of
bank as the place where we deposit and withdraw money or cash for our daily life. It can function as a verb or a noun.
The second illustration of a man fly-fishing may not make one think of a
bank. However, if you like to fish in freshwater along a stream or river, you can imagine walking along a
river bank looking for a good spot to throw your line into. The
bank of a river is the raised or sloped portion of land that borders a river or
stream. It is what defines a river or stream - without a bank or some border or edge, the water would look like an open sea.
Finally, what is the connection between a casino and
bank? When people go to a casino, they usually hope to win some money while having fun playing games, such as poker, Black Jack, roulette,
craps, and the slot machines. They
bank on winning!
