Definition
A container or holder designed to receive and hold something, like a trash receptacle or electrical socket.
Etymology
From Latin 'receptaculum' (a container), derived from 'receptare' (to receive). The root concept is receiving or holding something.
Kelly Says
In botany, the 'receptacle' is the part of the flower that holds all the petals and reproductive parts—so a flower is literally built on a biological 'receiver' for its components!
