Simple - pond (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mere

This clue is a double definition.

'simple' is the first definition.
(I know that simple can be written as mere)

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

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "Lake; simple" , "Former lake" , "Pierre's mother identified" , "President Hollande's mother?" , "Without additions or modifications" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
