The term "purse" originates from the Latin word "bursa," meaning a pouch or bag. Historically, it referred to a small bag used to carry coins or valuables. Over time, the meaning evolved to encompass various types of bags used by women for carrying personal items, leading to the modern definition we use today. The association with women's fashion solidified the term's usage in contemporary contexts.
