basket

Picnic carrier item

A basket is a container woven from flexible materials like reeds, straw, or strips of wood.

The weaving pattern gives baskets their characteristic look, which extends to anything basket-like: a basketball hoop's net, the gondola beneath a balloon.

In basketball, a basket is also the act of scoring: She made three baskets in the final minute.

A basket of goods is a collection of items considered together, especially for economic analysis.
