water nymph
Where it comes from
From Middle English water-nymph, equivalent to water + nymph.
noun water nymphs
- A female spirit presiding over fountains, wells, streams, etc. We cannot refrain from suspecting that in the original legend these were Valkyrias and not Water-nymphs, for these last would hardly strip to go into the water, their native element.
- Any of various aquatic plants of the genus Najas.
