The answer
TRUNK
What trunk means
The main woody stem of a tree, or a large rigid box or chest used for storage and travel, or the rear compartment of a car for carrying luggage.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *tronc* and Latin *truncus*, meaning "main stem of a tree" or "torso of the body." The Latin word originally meant "cut off" or "mutilated," possibly from a root meaning "to cut." The sense of a large box or chest for storage developed later, as such containers were often made from hollowed tree trunks. By extension, *trunk* came to describe the storage compartments found in vehicles.
