store up
Save for later
To store up is to accumulate something for future use or eventual release.
You store up supplies for winter, store up memories of good times, or store up resentment that eventually boils over.
The phrase emphasizes gradual accumulation over time, often with the implication that what's stored will eventually be drawn upon or discharged.
