incubator
의미: An enclosed apparatus providing controlled conditions of temperature and humidity, used in hospitals for premature infants, in laboratories for growing cultures, and figuratively for nurturing new businesses or ideas.
Incubator has three principal domains of use. In neonatal medicine, it refers to the transparent chamber that keeps premature babies warm and protected. In microbiology, it is the temperature-controlled cabinet where bacterial cultures are grown. In business and technology journalism, 'incubator' describes programmes or organisations that support early-stage start-ups — 'business incubator' and 'tech incubator' are now standard collocations in the financial press.
