Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
SPRING (from " to spring," " to leap or jump up," " burst out," O. Eng., springau, a common Teut. word, cf. Ger. springer, possibly allied to Gr. QnrFpxecOac, to move rapidly) , primarily the act of springing or leaping. The word is hence applied in various senses: to the season of the year in which plant
life
  begins to bud and shoot; to a source of water springing or welling up from below the surface of the earth and flowing away as a stream or
standing
  in a pool (see WATER
SUPPLY
 ) ; or to an elastic or resilient
body
  or contrivance for receiving and imparting mechanical
power
 . The most common form in which springs in this last sense are made is that of a spiral coil of
wire
  or narrow band of steel. There are many uses to which they are put, e.g. for communicating motion, as in a
clock
  or
watch
  (qq.v.), or for relieving concussion, as in the
case
  of carriages (q.v.).
