chest

[C] Đếm được

The word evokes a sense of containment and protection. When referring to the body, it suggests a shield for the heart and lungs, often associated with strength, breath, and vulnerability. It is the primary site for expressions of pride or anxiety in English descriptions. When referring to furniture, the term implies durability and longevity. It suggests an object intended to hold valuables or heirlooms over generations, contrasting with a modern drawer or plastic bin which lacks the same sense of permanence and security.

Countable for both the anatomical body part and the storage furniture.
