What does CACHE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A hidden store of things kept safe for future use, or the place where they are hidden.
A cache can hold almost anything that needs to be kept out of sight until it is needed, from a hunter's cache of food buried in the snow to a smuggler's cache of weapons hidden in a warehouse. Explorers and soldiers have long relied on caches placed along a route so that supplies are ready when they pass again. In computing the same word names a small block of fast memory that stores recently used data so a processor need not fetch it again from slower storage. Whether the contents are food, weapons or data, the core idea of a cache is always the same: something set aside and hidden for quick access later.
