Channel

Good as either a noun or a verb.

As a noun: English Channel, ship channel (in open water, or if enclosed, a canal), a television or internet channel ("Please switch the channel."), supply channel (possibly more often expressed as "supply chain"), other situations where a defined two-way path is implied, although often the direction is one-way at a particular time.

As a verb: to (mentally) channel a source, to create a channel of the shipping variety; possibly others.

Lots of examples in postings for other words, but this one hasn't been addressed yet on its own merits.

I was going to say it's related to canal, but that doesn't help much as canal hasn't been dug into, either.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
