Place
Capitalized location word
Place, noun and verb, centers on the idea of a particular position or location in space.
A place can be as broad as a country or as specific as a spot on a shelf.
To place something is to put it somewhere deliberately: She placed the vase on the mantle.
Place also suggests rank or standing: He finished in second place.
If you place someone, you recognize them from a previous encounter.
The phrase in place means properly positioned, while out of place suggests something doesn't belong.
