Meaning & usage
backpack, rucksack, knapsack
Where this word comes from
Borrowed from Slovak batoh with the same meaning. In Old Czech, batoh had a different meaning (“whip, stick”), inherited from Proto-Slavic *batogъ. It is unclear whether the word changed meaning (possibly via “a stick to carry baggage”, and “baggage carried using a stick”) or the modern usage is a new derivation (Machek’s theory of derivation from German Weidtasche (“hunter’s bag”) is considered implausible by Rejzek). First attested in the 19th century.
