the original life hack: a hole with handles that carries your entire existence.
means A flexible container, usually open at the top and made of cloth, paper, plastic, or leather, used to hold and carry things.
from From Old Norse 'baggi,' a bundle or pack, slipping into Middle English as 'bagge.' Beyond the Norse trail the path goes cold — its deeper roots are genuinely uncertain, possibly tied to a wider Germanic family of words for swelling, bundling, and bulging, but no one can say for sure. Over centuries the humble pouch sprouted idioms: to 'bag' game (catch it), 'bags of' money (plenty), and a 'baggy' shape (loose and bulging) all hang off this one small sack.
