Garakuta
There are several gatrakuta (ガラクタ) in my room.
Garakuta means something worthless, junk, or useless.
Gara (ガラ) comes from the onomatopoeia garagara (ガラガラ), which means that things touch or bump into each other, and there are two theories about kuta (クタ) -- one is that it is short for akuta (芥), which means "garbage" or "dust," or it comes from kuchi (朽ち), which means that something decays.
In the Edo period, garakuta was used to mean boring people or rascals in addition to its current meaning.

ガラクタ
私の部屋には幾つかの「ガラクタ」があります。
「ガラクタ」とは、価値のないものや、用途のないものを指す言葉です。
「ガラ」は物が触れ合う音を表す擬態語「ガラガラ」から、「クタ」はゴミやチリを意味する「芥（あくた）」の略か、「朽ち」が変化したものだと考えられています。
江戸時代には、現代の意味に加えて、つまらない人間ややくざ者のことも指していたようです。
