köken: Inherited from Middle French malle, from Old French male (“leather bag, leather or wooden travel-case”), from Frankish *malha (“leather bag”), from Proto-Germanic *malhō (“leather bag”), from Proto-Indo-European *molko- (“leather bag”). Cognate with Old High German malha, malaha (“leather bag”), Middle Dutch male (“trunk, travel bag”). More at mail.

köken: Calque of German Mantelsack, from kappa (“coat”) + säck (“sack”). First attested in 1482.
köken: Borrowed from Ancient Greek ᾰ̓ορτή (ăortḗ, “knapsack”). Attested from ca. 4th century CE. Either influenced by āvertō (“to turn something away”) or borrowed early enough (despite the late attestation), and through a Greek dialect preserving /w/, to participate in the early Latin sound change /wo/> /we/.
köken: From an unattested *lagamas (“laid, placed”) + -inas (“nominal suffix”), the former component the present passive participle of an unattested *lagoti (“to lie down”), from Proto-Balto-Slavic *lágīˀtei (“to lay (something)”), from Proto-Indo-European *logʰ-éye-ti, causative of *legʰ- (“to lie”). Cognate with Latvian lagaža (“den, bed”), Proto-Slavic *ložìti (“to lay”).
