vessel
An object made or used for a specific purpose; generally, a vessel, container, or implement. The term can refer to anything from a household utensil (jar, dish, or pot), an article of personal or communal equipment, armaments (such as weapons or armor), or a general item of apparatus. In figurative contexts, it may be used of people as 'instruments' or 'agents' (e.g., a person serving as a means for a particular function), or idiomatically of the body as the 'vessel' or 'container' of the self. In some contexts, may refer specifically to a spouse (especially a wife) as an aid or partner.
