STASH
What stash means
A hidden or concealed supply of something, often of value or kept secret, that is stored away for future use.
Where the word comes from
From the verb "stash," likely a blend or alteration of "cache" and "stow," both meaning to hide or store away. "Stow" comes from Old English "stōw" (place, position), while "cache" derives from French "cacher" (to hide), ultimately from Latin "coactus" (pressed together). The exact blending happened in American slang by the 1800s, creating a verb meaning to secretly store valuables or contraband.
