tároló

Tároló is a Hungarian noun derived from the verb tárolni, meaning to store. It denotes a thing or place used to keep items. The suffix -ó forms a noun indicating the agent or location associated with an action, so tároló can refer to both a container and a storage place, depending on context.

In everyday use, tároló commonly means a storage container or receptacle, such as tárolóedény (storage container), tárolódoboz (storage box), or tárolórekesz (storage compartment). It can also denote a storage space in a home, for example a cabinet, pantry, or garage tárolóhely.

In industry and technology, tároló refers to larger facilities or systems for keeping goods or data. Examples include tárolóépület or tárolócsarnok (storage building or hall), tárolóedényzet (set of containers), and in information technology, adattároló (data storage), adattárolóeszköz, tárolórendszer or tárolóinfrastruktúra.

Etymology and nuance: the term emphasizes function—storage. Precise terms may be used to specify the object (tárolóedény, tartály, doboz) or the place (tárolóhely, tárolókamra). In official or technical writing, more specific terminology is often chosen to avoid ambiguity.
