A colander is the kitchen bowl with a lot of small holes in the bottom and sides. You tip pasta, boiled potatoes, or washed vegetables into it so the water runs away and the food stays. It may be metal or plastic, often with two handles, and it sits in the sink. People also rinse fruit in it under the tap. It is an everyday word, not a fancy one. Though actually, it is not quite the same tool as a sieve: a sieve usually has a fine mesh, for flour or sauce; a colander’s holes are bigger, for food you can pick up with a spoon.

組成From Middle English forms such as colyndore, going back to Latin cōlātōrium, a vessel for straining, from cōlum, a sieve. Italian colino and Spanish colador are cousins in those languages.
