card
Wallet's plastic rectangle
Most things called card are made of stiff paper or plastic and come in specialized forms (credit card, playing card, greeting card, membership card, business card).
Integrated circuits are printed on graphics cards and memory cards.
If you card someone, you ask to see their driver’s license as proof of their age.
A different and less frequent word card is a verb that means to disentangle fibers, using a device that does this: She was busy carding wool.
