puts aside
Shelves for later
Puts aside means to set something apart, either physically or figuratively.
You might put aside money for a vacation or put aside work to spend time with family.
The phrase often implies saving for later use or temporarily setting something down: She puts aside an hour each morning for reading.
It can also mean to disregard or suppress: He puts aside his pride and apologizes.
