litter
Carelessly discarded waste
Litter gathers around the idea of scattered things.
Litter is trash strewn in public places: The park was covered in litter.
A litter of puppies or kittens is a group born together, scattered from the mother.
Litter is also material spread on the ground—straw for animal bedding, or absorbent granules in a cat's litter box.
To litter is to scatter carelessly: Empty bottles littered the floor.
