Origin

Late Middle English: from Old French sours(e), past participle of sourdre 'to rise', from Latin surgere.

fountain from Middle English:
A fountain was originally used to mean a natural spring of water rather than an artificial one, and comes from Latin fontana ‘spring’. Fount ‘source’ (the French for ‘spring’, in English from the Late Middle Ages) was formed in English in the late 16th century. The baptismal font (Old English) comes from the same root, although the printing font (late 16th century), made from melted and cast metal, comes from fondre (see found).
