úloisku

Úložiště (also úložisko) is a Czech noun meaning a place where things are stored. It is derived from the verb uložit, “to store,” and names a location or facility used for keeping objects, documents, or data. In everyday language the term can refer to a physical storage space such as a cabinet, closet, warehouse, or archive, as well as to a digital repository where files and information are kept.

In contemporary usage, úložiště is commonly employed for data storage. Phrases like “cloudové úložiště” (cloud storage) and “lokální úložiště dat” (local data storage) are standard in IT and technology contexts. The word thus covers both tangible and intangible storage locations.

The related form úložisko is sometimes used with a similar meaning and appears in contexts emphasizing a storage site or repository. Both úložiště and úložisko reflect the same morphological root and are chosen according to regional or stylistic preferences.

In geology and mining, a related but distinct term ložisko refers to a natural deposit or ore body. Although semantically linked by the idea of accumulation, ložisko denotes a geological deposit rather than a general storage place.
