Description:
The word 'ambalazar' is derived from the Arabic word 'ambalajar,' meaning 'storeroom.' The term is most commonly used in Spain to refer to the practice of Jewish merchants in medieval and early modern times of storing their goods in a particular part of their homes known as an 'ambalaje.' This practice was designed to protect the goods from thieves and also to ensure that the merchants had easy access to their goods in case of a need. Today, the word 'ambalazar' is also used to refer to the practice of storing goods in a particular area of a store.
