A room or warehouse where goods, supplies, or merchandise are stored for later use or sale.
Compound of 'stock' (goods kept in supply, from Old Norse 'stokk' meaning log or block) and 'room' (space). The term became common in retail during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Modern stockrooms use sophisticated inventory tracking systems with barcodes and AI to predict what will sell, but small shops sometimes lose track of items so thoroughly that stockroom finds become surprise inventory windfalls!
