noun
informalNorth American
A small, snug enclosed space, especially one used for storage or as a private nook.

Schools use rows of open cubbies for children to store coats, bags and shoes, and the word also names the small storage compartment inside a car. The appeal of a cubby is its snugness; it holds only a little, but that little is protected and easy to find again.
