EN: small box, casket, jewelry box
This is a deep cut. Think of it as the lola's baul, but for your tiny treasures. It's the old-school version of a jewelry box. You'd probably find this word in a Florante at Laura-era text, not in a conversation about Shopee deliveries. It's like the vintage, more ✨classy✨ cousin of 'kahon'.
From Spanish 'cajita', meaning 'small box'.
This word is very rare in modern conversation and is considered archaic or literary.
