Definition
寄放 means 'to leave something in someone's care' or 'to check/store temporarily' — you hand over an item to a person or service for safekeeping, expecting to pick it up later. It's a transitive verb that takes the item as object (寄放行李 'store luggage'), and you can specify the location with 在 (寄放在朋友家 'leave at a friend's house'). Unlike 放 (just 'put'), 寄放 implies a custodial arrangement with someone responsible.
