carpets
Soft floor coverings
Carpets is the plural of carpet—thick textile floor coverings that span a room or area.
Unlike rugs, carpets typically cover an entire floor and are often installed permanently.
To carpet is to cover with carpet or to reprimand severely: The boss carpeted him for missing the deadline.
To sweep something under the carpet is to hide a problem rather than address it.
