Nothing more than an old lake (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mere

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'nothing more than' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'an old lake' is the second definition.
'mere' can be an answer for 'lake' (mere is a kind of lake). I'm not certain of the 'an old' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "Nothing more than - water" , "Just an English lake" , "Nothing more than what is specified (4)" , "sea" , "Lake, pond (poetic)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
