To stash something is to hide it away for safekeeping or future use: He stashed the cash under the mattress, She stashed snacks in her desk drawer.
The noun stash refers to whatever has been hidden away—often drugs, money, or supplies: The police found his stash, a stash of emergency supplies.
The word suggests concealment and private accumulation.
