Translation
drawer
Definition
A drawer is a box-like compartment that slides in and out of a piece of furniture, such as a desk, dresser, or cabinet, used for storing items. It typically has a handle or knob for pulling it open and is a common storage solution in homes and offices. Drawers come in various sizes and are often part of a set, helping to organize clothes, documents, utensils, or other belongings. This meaning specifically refers to the furniture component, not other uses like a person who draws.
