box
Carton with lid
Three words in English have the spelling box, but the main one—a cubicle container—far outnumbers the other two in usage.
This main meaning is extended to other hollow spaces with the capacity to contain something: post office box, in-box. The verb from this meaning conveys confining to a container: Box the cookies and send them off.
The verb is more frequent for another meaning of box: to fight with the fists, usually in the competitive sport of boxing.
The third box is a noun only, one that designates a family of slow-growing, evergreen shrubs with small leaves.
