prettygoodwordgarner (GAR-ner) - n., a store of grain, a granary.
Or any store or hoard of something. Where the results go when you garner (gather) the harvest. The noun is rarely used these days, most use granary instead, but the verb created by extension, meaning to gather in, still is though largely in a metaphoric extension (instead of strictly of a harvest). For Tolkien's use see yesterday (and you can now remove that pin). From Middle English garner/gerner, meaning only a granary, from Old French gernier/grenier, from Latin grānārium, granary, and which in fact is a doublet directly taken from that root.
