riddle - A seven letter word - the meaning doesn't change if you remove letters


I am a seven letter word. If you remove one letter from me my meaning does not change. If you remove two letters from me my meaning still does not change, and if you remove three letters from me, my meaning still does not change.



Even if you remove all letters my meaning won't change. What word is this?



Answer



The answer is a postbox/mailbox because if you remove a physical letter from it, it remains a mailbox; its meaning is still to hold letters. You can remove all the letters, but it will still be a mailbox.
