tub

Large open container

A tub is a wide, open container, typically round and used for holding liquids or washing: a washtub, a tub of ice cream.

A bathtub is often shortened to tub: I'm going to soak in the tub.

Hot tub names the heated outdoor variety.

Tub can describe anything tub-shaped, including boats (often disparagingly): that old tub.
