Etymology: "Debaggings" is the plural of "debagging," a noun from the verb "debag," which means to pull down or strip someone's trousers, a prank once common at British public schools and universities. The verb combines the prefix "de-" with "bag," a slang word for trousers, though the exact route by which that slang sense arose is uncertain. The meaning you supplied, unpacking or removing items from containers, is not the standard sense of this term.

Synonyms: unpacking, emptying, unloading
