place

Put it there

Place is primarily a noun that is used to denote a limited physical environment or space.

Different kinds of places have different sorts of borders: a city or a country can be described as a place, but so can a small corner on a shelf where you can fit a knickknack.

When place is a verb, it has a meaning similar to but usually more specific than put.
