EXPLANATION

"Set aside" means to save or reserve something for later. Like when you’re eating snacks but *set aside* a few cookies for a friend—it’s like saying, “This is for later or someone else.” You can also *set aside* time, like deciding, “I’ll set aside an hour to study.” It’s all about keeping something special or planned!
