On that basis, a 'stock' is what we call a 'fond (de sauce)', and as you so rightly say, a 'broth' is a 'bouillon'
It has to be said that industrial 'fonds' are quite different... but a 'fond' is what my professional chef partner calls a proper home-made stock.

Very helpful link, thank you!
I also had "fond" from Termium but wasn't too sure, it just sounded weird and unusual at first but with your "professional chef partner" approval... I think this is the best fit. THANKS!
