cached
Tucked away temporarily
Cached describes something stored for quick retrieval later.
In computing, cached data sits in temporary storage so the system doesn't have to fetch it from slower sources: Clear your cached files to free up space.
The word extends to any strategic storing: She cached supplies in the basement.
Pronounced like "cashed."
