From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Reserve \Re*serve"\, n.       1. (Finance)             (a) That part of the assets of a bank or other financial                   institution specially kept in cash in a more or less                   liquid form as a reasonable provision for meeting all                   demands which may be made upon it; specif.:             (b) (Banking) Usually, the uninvested cash kept on hand                   for this purpose, called the {real reserve}. In Great                   Britain the ultimate real reserve is the gold kept on                   hand in the Bank of England, largely represented by                   the notes in hand in its own banking department; and                   any balance which a bank has with the Bank of England                   is a part of its reserve. In the United States the                   reserve of a national bank consists of the amount of                   lawful money it holds on hand against deposits, which                   is required by law to be not less than 15 per cent                   (--U. S. Rev. Stat. secs. 5191, 5192), three fifths of                   which the banks not in a reserve city (which see) may                   keep deposited as balances in national banks that are                   in reserve cities (--U. S. Rev. Stat. sec. 5192).             (c) (Life Insurance) The amount of funds or assets                   necessary for a company to have at any given time to                   enable it, with interest and premiums paid as they                   shall accure, to meet all claims on the insurance then                   in force as they would mature according to the                   particular mortality table accepted. The reserve is                   always reckoned as a liability, and is calculated on                   net premiums. It is theoretically the difference                   between the present value of the total insurance and                   the present value of the future premiums on the                   insurance. The reserve, being an amount for which                   another company could, theoretically, afford to take                   over the insurance, is sometimes called the          {reinsurance fund} or the          {self-insurance fund}. For the first year upon any policy the             net premium is called the          {initial reserve}, and the balance left at the end of the             year including interest is the          {terminal reserve}. For subsequent years the initial reserve             is the net premium, if any, plus the terminal reserve of             the previous year. The portion of the reserve to be             absorbed from the initial reserve in any year in payment             of losses is sometimes called the          {insurance reserve}, and the terminal reserve is then called             the          {investment reserve}.          2. In exhibitions, a distinction which indicates that the             recipient will get a prize if another should be             disqualified.          3. (Calico Printing) A resist.          4. A preparation used on an object being electroplated to fix             the limits of the deposit.          5. See {Army organization}, above.
