noria
  9

1º_ Ingenuity to extract water from a well or a ditch by rotating pulleys with buckets. In many cases a donkey or ox was used to move it, which walked in a circle around the well tied to a lever to activate the pulley mechanism. By association, the same well is also called a Ferris wheel. The set gave rise to the following meanings. In some countries it is a swimming pool, even if it is recreational and not to extract water. Another name for the round-the-world ride or wheel of fortune, for the spin and bucket-like chairs. In slaughterhouses and cattle slaughtering plants, the system of rails with bearings that run along the ceilings of the place is usually called a waterwheel, from where the slaughtered animal is hung to be transferred to the different highlighting rooms. The Ferris wheel is compared to a repeated or monotonous situation, from which one cannot escape, where one feels trapped like the draught animal.
