Hiding something away in a secret place for safekeeping or future use; storing something in a safe but hidden location.
Origin unclear, possibly from Old English or Scandinavian roots, with some scholars suggesting it might be related to 'cache' (a hidden store). Became more common slang in the 20th century.
Squirrels are famous for stashing thousands of acorns each fall, and while they remember most hiding spots, the ones they forget grow into new oak trees—so forgetful squirrels are actually doing the forests a huge favor every year.
