a large city in northwestern England; its port is the country's major outlet for industrial exports
"Liverpool serves as the primary gateway for exporting Britain's manufactured goods to global markets."
A city and metropolitan borough of Merseyside, England; an important seaport in the United Kingdom, and once one of the biggest in the world.
"Liverpool is a historic seaport on the River Mersey that was once one of the busiest ports in the world before shifting focus to finance and media."
The name Liverpool comes from the Old English words for "thick water" and "pool," describing a muddy or silty body of water. It was originally applied to this specific location because the river there carried sediment that made it appear cloudy, much like liver tissue.
