Etymology

Derived from the Old French term 'paneterie', related to Latin panis "bread".

Noun

pantry

  1. A small room, closet, or cabinet usually located in or near the kitchen, dedicated to food storage. Since the pantry is not typically temperature-controlled (unlike a refrigerator or root cellar), the foods stored in a pantry are usually shelf-stable staples such as grains, flours, and preserved foods.
