Stream

A stream is a small, narrow body of freshwater, typically flowing within a channel and often feeding into a larger river or lake. Beyond the literal sense, 'stream' refers to a continuous flow or succession of something, be it data, people, or ideas. It can also describe the act of transmitting or receiving data continuously over a network, allowing for real-time access to audio or video content. The term evokes a sense of uninterrupted progression and connectivity, whether in a natural environment or a technological context.
