What is a "faucet"?
A faucet is a device that controls the flow of water from a pipe, commonly found in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor areas. It usually has a handle or knob that can be turned or lifted to start or stop the water, and it may also adjust the water temperature by mixing hot and cold water. Faucets are designed to make accessing water easier for daily tasks such as washing or cleaning.
Examples
He turned on the faucet to fill the pot with water.
The faucet in the bathroom was leaking, so a plumber was called.
