minibar

/ˌmĩ.niˈbaʁ/ noun

A small refrigerator in a hotel room, containing drinks and snacks that the guest may choose to purchase during their stay.

Word Origin A blend of 'mini' (from Latin minimus 'smallest') and 'bar' (from Vulgar Latin barra 'barrier, pole'). The idea: a tiny bar, like in a hotel room. 'Mini' became a standalone prefix in the 1960s with miniskirt, and now we have minibar, minivan, etc. The same Latin root gives us minimum, minor, and minute.

noun A small refrigerator in a hotel room, containing drinks and snacks that the guest may choose to purchase during their stay. countable
