Etymology

1. c.1230, bagge, from O.N. baggi or a similar Scand. source, perhaps ultimately of Celtic origin. Disparaging slang for "woman" dates from 1924. Meaning "person's area of interest or expertise" is 1964, from Black Eng. slang, from jazz sense of "category," probably via notion of putting something in a bag. Baggy "puffed out, hanging loosely" is 1834. Many fig. senses are from the notion of the game bag (1486) into which the product of the hunt was placed; e.g. the verb meaning "to kill game" (1814) and its colloquial extension to "catch, seize, steal" (1818).
