ἀποκειμένην [1 verse] ( part sg pres mp fem acc ) "Kept laid up" is  apokeimai, which means to " to be laid away from", "to be laid up in store", "to be laid aside neglected", "to be exposed", and "to lie open to". -- "Laid up" is from a verb that Jesus only uses here. It is a verb that means "to be laid up in store" when referring to money, as it does here. But it also means  "to be laid aside neglected", which is the point of the story.
