put away

We use [put something away] in a couple of  contexts:

To save money for future use:

• I try to put away some money every week towards my holiday.
• If we put a little away each week, we should have a sufficient fund should things go wrong.

Consume food or drink in large quantities:

• Did you see how much food he put away?

However, if we [put someone away] it means to confine someone in a prison or psychiatric hospital. It may be necessary but not exactly pleasant. Or maybe yes:

• Sometimes I feel you’ve put me away as you rarely visit me anymore. [humorous]
• After the court case, he was put away for several years. [serious]
