suitcase
Portable clothing container
A suitcase is a rectangular piece of luggage with a handle, designed for carrying clothes and personal items while traveling.
Traditional suitcases have a hinged lid and clasps or zippers; modern ones often have wheels and an extendable handle.
The word distinguishes this portable case from larger trunks or smaller bags.
I packed my suitcase the night before the flight.
A suitcase is sometimes used figuratively to suggest readiness to leave or transient circumstances.
