An ewer is a large that people used in the past to hold water, often for washing hands. Before every room had a tap, someone might bring an ewer and a basin to the table or to a bedroom. You will meet the word in museums, history books, and old stories more than in shops today — we would now just say or pitcher. It feels old-fashioned and a little formal. It is a water container, not a cooking pot. Though actually it looks a little like ewe, it has nothing to do with sheep.
舊時盛水的大壺；洗手壺
組成From Middle English ewer, from Anglo-Norman or Old French ewer, eawer (modern French évier, a sink), from Latin aquarium, from aqua, water. It is a doublet of aquarium: the two words started as the same Latin word and took different paths.
