Etymology: "Gamebags" is simply the plural of "gamebag," a compound formed from "game" and "bag." Here "game" carries its older sense of wild animals and birds taken in hunting, so a gamebag was originally a pouch or sack a hunter used to carry the animals he had shot or trapped. The term later came to cover bags for transporting hunting equipment as well.

Synonyms: hunting bag, game pouch, game carrier, hunting sack, game satchel
