What is a "Spa?"
Most
Americans don't realize that the

name of the famous mineral
springs in Spa, Belgium. It has
become a common noun denoting
any place with a medicinal or
mineral spring. The dictionary
adds:
1. A
resort
providing
therapeutic
baths.
2. A
resort area
having
mineral
springs.
3. A
fashionable
hotel or
resort.
5. A
tub for
relaxation
or
invigoration,
usually
including a
device for
raising
whirlpools
in the
water.
