The answer
SHOAL
What shoal means
A shallow area of water, especially one formed by a sandbank or reef, where the sea or a river becomes dangerously shallow for ships.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *sceolh*, meaning "shallow," shoal originally described shallow water. The word likely derives from Proto-Germanic *skaulaz*, related to the idea of sloping or tilting. The sense shifted to refer to a sandbar or shallow place in water, and later extended to mean a large group of fish swimming together, possibly influenced by the similarity between a visible sandbar and a visible school of fish moving through water.
