Etymology: "Luggages" is the plural of "luggage," which is a mass noun, so the plural is rarely used and mainly appears when someone is referring to individual pieces of baggage. The base word is built from "lug," meaning "to drag" or "to haul," with the suffix "-age," so the literal sense is "that which is lugged or dragged around." It first appeared in English in the 1590s, and it is a close relative of "baggage," which has a similar construction.
