A hiding place is a secure location where one can store items or hide away from danger. The term can be broken down into five distinct words: DEN, CACHE, STASH, snipe, and LAIR. A DEN is a small, cozy room or shelter, often used as a refuge. A CACHE is a collection of items that are hidden away for safekeeping. A STASH is a secret supply of something, usually hidden away. Snipe is a verb meaning to hide or conceal oneself. Finally, a LAIR is a DEN or hiding place, typically associated with wild animals.
