CELLAR Meaning and Definition

  1. A cellar is an underground room or storage space typically found beneath a building, usually a house or a large structure, such as a warehouse or a restaurant. It is designed to store a variety of items, particularly food and beverages, but it can also be used to store other goods, such as wine, beer, vegetables, fruits, preserves, and other canned or bottled items.

    Cellars are known for their cool and damp environment, which provides a natural insulation against temperature fluctuations, making them ideal for long-term storage of perishable items. The thick walls and earth around the cellar help maintain a constant temperature, preventing spoilage and allowing items to age properly. Traditionally, cellars were often used for storing crops during the winter months or as a place to preserve food for later use.

    In addition to food storage, cellars can also serve other purposes. They may house mechanical systems, such as heating or cooling equipment, or act as a recreational area, such as a wine cellar or game room. Some older houses may have multiple cellars, each designated for a specific purpose. Overall, cellars are versatile spaces that offer secure storage, protection against temperature variations, and an opportunity to create specialized environments for various purposes.

  2. A room or place under a house used for storing coals, &c.
