Etymology: "Debagged" is the past tense and past participle of "debag", a verb formed in English from the prefix "de-" and the noun "bag". The prefix comes from Latin "de", meaning "down" or "off", which gives the verb its sense of removing something. Its meaning is literal: to pull someone's trousers down, or to strip them of their trousers, usually as a prank or humiliation. The base noun "bag" is of uncertain origin, though it entered Middle English as "bagge" and has long been used for a container of cloth or leather. Because "bag" also serves as a slang term for trousers or underwear in some contexts, the verb is naturally tied to that clothing sense rather than the container sense. Together, "de-" and "bag" produce a coinage that is transparent in its meaning, with the verb's action reversing the idea of being "bagged" or covered.
