A device or container designed to hold a cup securely in place, commonly found in car cup holders or furniture.
From cup + holder. This compound word became standard in the mid-20th century as cars and convenience items required dedicated cup-holding spaces.
Cup holders in cars are only a relatively recent invention—the first mass-produced car cup holder appeared in the 1980s, yet now we can't imagine vehicles without them!
