closet
Built-in storage chamber
A closet is a small room or enclosed space for storage, especially for clothes.
In American English, closets are built into bedrooms; in British English, the term more often refers to a wardrobe or small storage room.
Closet also describes something private or secret: a closet smoker hides the habit; to come out of the closet is to reveal one's homosexuality publicly.
To closet yourself is to withdraw into privacy: She closeted herself in her study.
A skeleton in the closet is a shameful secret.
