Definition
存放 (cún fàng) means to store or leave something with someone for safekeeping, or to deposit money. Unlike 储存 (chǔ cún) and 存储 (cún chǔ), which focus on storing items in a place (like a warehouse or computer), 存放 often involves entrusting items to a person or institution. It is more specific than the broader verb 存 (cún), which can also mean 'to exist' or 'to keep'.
