Car boot意思

"Car boot" is a British English term that refers to the storage compartment at the rear of a car, which is accessible from inside the vehicle by opening the boot lid. In American English, this compartment is typically called the "trunk." The term "car boot" comes from the fact that, in many cars, the storage area is large enough to accommodate a pair of boots (shoes).

In British English, "car boot sale" or "boot sale" refers to a type of outdoor market where people sell items from the boot of their car. These sales are a popular way for individuals to sell unwanted items, such as household goods, clothing, books, and toys, and for bargain hunters to find second-hand items at a lower price.
