Did you know they have a special fee for cellarage in that new wine store?

Really? I guess they need to charge for storage space.

Yeah, I was surprised to learn that it can add up quickly.

Makes sense, though; good wine needs proper care!

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Cellarage → It is formed from "cellar" (from Old French *celier*, meaning a storage room or basement) and "-age" (a suffix indicating a state or condition). The word "cellarage" refers to the state or condition of being in a cellar, often used to describe the storage space for wine or other goods.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'cellar' as a storage room and '-age' indicating a state, so 'cellarage' means the state of being in a storage room.
