RIV'ER, noun [Latin rivus, rivulus, rips.]
1. A large stream of water flowing in a channel on land towards the ocean, a lake or another river It is larger than a rivulet or brook; but is applied to any stream from the size of a mill-stream to that of the Danube, Maranon and Mississippi.

2. A large stream; copious flow; abundance; as rivers of blood; rivers of oil
