noun (stationeries)
  1. writing materials
    When school finished he threw all of his away as he no longer had any need for pencils and exercise books.
Etymology: stationer + -y<!--Not quite true: this is the origin of "stationer", not "stationery":From stationary, as such goods were sold in shops, which are stationary, and not by travelling peddlers. Frequency data indicates that "stationary" is preferred to "stationery" for the spelling. (Wrong: "stationery" is the only accepted modern spelling; "stationary" is now obsolete)-->
