it refers to a specific type of body of water, like the Strait of Gilbralter.

i'm sure there are specific characteristics that are required to call something a strait versus a river or lake, but i do not know these.

A strait is a narrow body of water between two landmasses (like the Strait of Gibraltar between Europe and Africa).
