A knapsack is so called because the term derives from the German word "Knappsack," which means "a bag for food" or "a small bag." The word combines "knappen" (to bite or to nibble) and "sack" (a bag), reflecting its original use for carrying food or personal items while traveling. Over time, the term has evolved to refer to various types of backpacks used for carrying goods, especially in outdoor or hiking contexts.
