Translation

pool

Definition

A pool is a common fund of money or resources that is contributed to and used by a group of people for a shared purpose. This financial meaning involves combining resources, such as money, to be managed collectively, often to reduce individual risk or to fund a common goal. It is commonly used in contexts like investment, insurance, office collections, or shared expenses. For example, a carpool is a shared arrangement for commuting, but the term 'pool' in this sense primarily refers to the collective resource itself.
