the.com/colander
a bowl that achieved enlightenment by learning to let things go.
means A perforated bowl used to drain liquid from food, such as pasta or washed vegetables, while keeping the solids behind.
from From the Latin 'colare,' meaning to strain or sieve, which gave Italian 'colare' and 'colatore' (a strainer). The English word likely came through medieval cookery, where it was sometimes spelled 'cullender'; the same Latin root strains its way into 'percolate' and 'colander' alike, all of them descendants of liquid being coaxed politely through small holes.
