Nothing more than a pool (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mere

This clue is a double definition.

'nothing more than' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a pool' is the second definition.
(mere can mean a lake)

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "Nothing more than - water" , "of no significance" , "Insignificant" , "Lake, pond (poetic)" , "Pool, small lake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Irish Times (Simplex).
