mettere via

Borderline SOP in Italian with senses 2, 3, 5, or 6 of away (I think these senses also hold for the Italian via). We have the English put away, but that has a number of other senses that render it non-SOP. Imetsia (talk) 16:28, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

(Notifying Benwing2, GianWiki, SemperBlotto, Ultimateria, Jberkel, Imetsia, Sartma): Is this really SOP? Any thoughts? — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 22:47, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

I would also encourage people to look at some of my other RFD nominations, some of which have gone on for months without sufficient comments by others to either keep or delete. Imetsia (talk) 22:54, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

@Imetsia, Fytcha "set aside" and "put aside" have several meanings, which meaning does "mettere via" correspond to? Benwing2 (talk) 02:38, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

I'd say the meaning is the one expressed by the first sense of put away, that is “to put (something) in its usual storage place; to place out of the way, clean up”. — GianWiki (talk) 08:42, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Definitely not SOP. See, eg, [1] [2]. Surely idiomatic in the sense "to save up" (a more colloquial form for "mettere da parte"). The sense mentioned by Gianwiki is not completely literal, as well, since "mettere via" could also be interpreted as "to throw away" (but the expression is never used in this sense).
