drawer

Desk storage space

A drawer is a sliding compartment in a piece of furniture—a desk, dresser, or cabinet—that pulls out for access and pushes back in for storage: She rummaged through the junk drawer.

Drawers (plural) is an old-fashioned or humorous term for underpants.

A drawer is also one who draws—an artist who sketches, or the person who writes a check or draft.
