Receptacle means a vessel: a pit. Something dug to store, anything. A latrine (loo) uses a vessel to store waste material.
Q: Where is it used?
In the play, The Sea at Dauphin. On the first page.
A quick learning tip:
- Sounds similar to respectable.
- Use it in a sentence. A receptacle of respect for others makes you go a long way in life. Use is learning. Therefore, make use of the word somehow to learn.
- First known use of receptacle: 15th century
