The term "knapsack" is a compound word because it is formed by combining two distinct words: "knap," which refers to a lump or bump (originally from the Middle Dutch "knappe"), and "sack," which denotes a bag or pouch. Together, they describe a type of bag that is carried on the back, typically used for holding supplies or personal items. The combination of these two elements reflects both the function and the form of the object.
