the.com/laundry hamper
A basket that converts clean clothes into dirty clothes through sheer proximity.
means A container used to collect worn or soiled clothing until it's washed.
from 'Laundry' traces back to Latin 'lavare' (to wash), via Old French 'lavanderie'. 'Hamper' comes from Old French 'hanaper', a case for holding a goblet or valuables, which narrowed over centuries into any sturdy covered basket — so the word once meant a box for treasure before it settled for holding your gym socks.
