LID (CONTAINER)


Lid of a Mint box

A 'lid' is part of a container, and serves as the cover or seal, usually one that completely closes the object.
Lids have been found on pottery dating back as far as 3100 BC.
Often a part of a living creature covering an opening is called a lid. The word has other usages for things that cover something. It is used metaphorically, as in "keeping the lid on the secret."
Also known as cap, closure, seal, closing element, closure element, sealing element
