cache

KASH

meaning in plain English

A hidden or protected place where you store things you might need later, so you can get to them quickly when you need them.

Picture a secret stash—like a hidden drawer—where you cache snacks for quick grabs later.

for example

The explorers left extra food in secret caches along the trail so they could grab a meal whenever they passed by.

Imagine you hide your snacks in a backpack pocket so you don’t have to carry them all day, but you can still reach them fast when you’re hungry. A cache is just a smart hiding spot for things you’ll want later.
