noun
informalBritish
A single appliance or vehicle that combines two functions, such as a boiler that heats water and provides central heating.
Combi is short for combination, and in British homes it usually names a combi boiler, a compact unit that heats water on demand instead of storing it in a separate tank. The same short word extends to other combined devices, such as a combi oven that both bakes and steams food. Calling something a combi signals that it was designed to do two jobs in the space that would normally hold only one.
