skrIn

Skrin is a term with multiple meanings across languages, reflecting its cross‑cultural usage. In furniture contexts, skrin denotes a cabinet or display case used to store or exhibit items. In Danish and Norwegian, a skrin is typically a piece of furniture—a cabinet, chest, or display case, sometimes with a glass front to showcase contents. It can be freestanding or built into a wall and may include compartments or drawers for organization.

In Malay and Indonesian, skrIn is a loanword from English meaning screen or display. It is used for computer screens, television screens, mobile device screens, and cinema screens. The term appears in everyday phrases describing viewing surfaces and protective viewing panels.

In other contexts, skrIn can appear in compound terms or as part of proper names, and in computing or technology it is often used as a direct translation of "screen." The precise meaning depends on language and context. See also Screen, Cabinet, Display.
