noun
wardrobe; chest of drawers for clothes
A piece of furniture for storing clothes, similar to a dresser or armoire. The term is somewhat traditional and may be less common in modern casual conversation than 洋服ダンス or クローゼット.
祖母の家には古い衣装箪笥が置いてある。
There is an old wardrobe at my grandmother's house.
Compound of 衣装 (clothing) and 箪笥 (chest of drawers). The reading だんす for 箪笥 is a phonetic adaptation of the English word 'dance' via the historical term ダンス (chest of drawers), which itself comes from English 'dance' (as in 'chest of drawers').
