[edit] Etymology

Recorded since 1432 as Middle English bogett, bouget, bowgette (“‘leather pouch’”), from Old French bougette, the diminutive of bouge (“‘leather bag, wallet’”) (also the root of bulge), itself from Latin bulga (“‘leather bag, bellow’”), of Gaulish origin (Celtic, cf. Old Irish bolg (“‘bag’”), Breton bolc’h (“‘flax pod’”)), a common root with the Germanic family (cfr. Dutch balg (“‘child’”)), from the Proto-Indo-European *bhelgh-.
