How to spell storage

hear itstor·age/'stoʊrɪdʒ/nounSilent and tricky

What it means: A space or room used for keeping items safe.

In a sentence: We keep our toys in the storage room.

The part people get wrong

Often misspelled as storange or storige.

Same family: store, stored, storing, storeroom, warehouse. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: Storage comes from the verb “store,” which came into English from Old French ‘estor’ meaning ‘to build, furnish, or supply.’ The suffix “-age” often turns verbs into nouns in English, so storage literally means the result or place of storing.
