drawer
/dɹɔː(ɹ)/noun
A box-shaped container without a top that slides in and out of a piece of furniture and holds clothes or other items.
Example sentence
- “I keep all my socks in the top drawer of the dresser.”
Pronunciation trap: it often sounds like 'dror' in fast speech. A 'chest of drawers' is the furniture built entirely from them.
