解答
意味：英辞郎にこの単語は掲載されていないのでMerriam-Websterの定義を訳すと下記のようになります。
Frunkは、frontとtrunkの混成語で、自動車の後ろではなく前にある荷物室のことを言います。なお、trunkという荷物室は自動車の後部でも前部でも使用できる単語なので、frunkをtrunkと言っても間違いではありません。
Answer
According to Merriam-Webster:Frunk is a blend of front and trunk referring to cars that have their storage spaces in the front rather than in the rear, as is more typical. It should be noted that our definition of trunk does not require it be located in the back of a vehicle.
Examples
- The “frunk” that comes standard with most electric vehicles is proving the best kind of marketing engine: one that runs on its own.
- Open the electric frunk, called the ‘Powergate’, and there’s space to tailgate (frailgate?) there too, or cram a few more big bags in, but the star of the show in the load bay cover.
- With the proliferation of EVs out there, “frunk” will likely soon go from a sort-of-joke term to something as commonly used as Kleenex (or hoovering with our UK friends).
- All Teslas, for example, have frunks. This means that while a Porsche 911 frunk might be useful for toting around a small piece of luggage, a Tesla Model S can offer SUV-like cargo capacity. — Matthew DeBord, Business Insider, 12 June 2020
- Ford has publicized that the frunk, or front trunk, of its all-new EV, the Mach-E, is built to be used as a cooler. It has a drainage hole at the bottom and a plastic liner, and with 4.8 cubic feet—or 36 gallons—of storage, it’s big enough to hold a carry-on-size suitcase or 1000 chicken wings, according to the manufacturer. — Colin Beresford, Car and Driver, 3 Feb. 2020
