Etymology 1

    From Middle English dam, from Old English *damm, from Proto-West Germanic *damm, from Proto-Germanic *dammaz.

    Noun

    dam (plural dams)

    1. A structure placed across a flowing body of water to stop the flow or part of the flow, generally for purposes such as retaining or diverting some of the water or retarding the release of accumulated water to avoid abrupt flooding.
      A dam is often an essential source of water to farmers of hilly country.
      • 1913, Robert Barr, chapter 4, in Lord Stranleigh Abroad[1]:
        Nothing could be more business-like than the construction of the stout dams, and nothing more gently rural than the limpid lakes, with the grand old forest trees marshalled round their margins []
      • 2013 August 16, John Vidal, “Dams endanger ecology of Himalayas”, in The Guardian Weekly, volume 189, number 10, page 8:
        Most of the Himalayan rivers have been relatively untouched by dams near their sources. Now the two great Asian powers, India and China, are rushing to harness them as they cut through some of the world's deepest valleys.
    2. The water reservoir resulting from placing such a structure.
      Boats may only be used at places set aside for boating on the dam.
    3. (dentistry) A device to prevent a tooth from getting wet during dental work, consisting of a rubber sheet held with a band.
      Synonyms: dental dam, oral dam
    4. (South Africa, Australia) A reservoir.
