Wa·ter, v. i.
1. To shed, secrete, or fill with, water or liquid matter; as, his eyes began to water.
If thine eyes can water for his death. --Shak.
2. To get or take in water; as, the ship put into port to water.
The mouth waters, a phrase denoting that a person or animal has a longing desire for something, since the sight of food often causes one who is hungry to have an increased flow of saliva.
