《牛津词典》中对cupboard有个解释:a piece of furniture with doors and shelves used for storing dishes, food, clothes, etc.
因此cupboard可以是衣柜。
I decided to hang one of the tow suits I had brought with me in the cupboard. 我想把随身带来的两套西服中的一套挂到衣柜里去。

您好,cupboard 是英式英语,而 closet 是美式英语,两个都可以用作(衣橱、衣柜);wardrobe 是泛指有夹层有门的柜子,而 cabinet 通常是泛指有夹层但没门的柜子,或是拉柜。而新概念偏向英式英语,除非文章中的内容和美国挂钩,才会用到美式英语。
相对于 cupboard 和 wardrobe 而言,cupboard 是老百姓用的衣柜,而 wardrobe 在旧英语通常是指皇室家族或是贵族门的奢华衣柜。
就像您提到的这一篇文章一样,A skeleton in the cupboard 是英式英语,相对应的美式英语是 A skeleton in the closet.

同学,建议买本英英词典,一查就清清楚楚,cupboard用来放食物、碗碟、衣服等都可以,可以做衣柜的解释。

cupboard不光如字面指的是碗厨,它也有“柜橱”,甚至储藏室的意思。英语里好多单词是不能光看字面的。

The term cupboard was originally used to describe an open-shelved side table for displaying dishware, more specifically plates, cups and saucers. These open cupboards typically had between one and three display tiers, and at the time, a drawer or multiple drawers fitted to them. The word cupboard gradually came to mean furniture for enclosing dishware or grocery items that are stored in a home.
词义变广泛了,cupboard被当成衣柜很正常
