warehouse
Large goods repository
A warehouse is a large building for storing goods, materials, or merchandise before distribution or sale.
Warehouses are central to supply chains and logistics: The company leases warehouse space near the port.
As a verb, to warehouse something is to store it in bulk, or more figuratively, to put aside or neglect: warehousing the elderly in nursing homes.
