car trunk
Rear cargo compartment
The enclosed storage compartment at the rear of most automobiles, accessed by lifting a hinged lid.
Americans say trunk; the British say boot.
I threw the groceries in the trunk.
The space accommodates luggage, spare tires, and in crime fiction, occasionally bodies.
