Lake or pond (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mere

I believe this is a double definition.

'lake' is the first definition.
(I know that mere is a type of lake)

'pond' is the second definition.
(I know that mere is a type of pond)

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "DDwater" , "Nothing more than a small pool" , "Lake in Cumbria" , "Pond, only what is said" , "Just an English lake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Guardian.
