baggings
|bag-gings|
/ˈbæɡɪŋz/
(bagging)
put into bags (instances)
Etymology
'bagging' originates from Modern English, formed by adding the gerundive/participial suffix '-ing' to the verb 'bag'.
'bag' changed from Middle English word 'bagge', ultimately from Old Norse 'baggi', and through these stages the term developed into Modern English 'bag' and then 'bagging'.
Initially related to the noun 'bag' (a container), it later came to denote the action 'to put into a bag' and the resulting process/act; this produced the modern senses of 'bagging' (and its plural 'baggings').
