Etymology (English)

In summary

From Middle High German sac, from Old High German sac, from Proto-West Germanic *sakku, from Proto-Germanic *sakkuz, from Latin saccus. Cognate with Dutch zak, English sack. The sense “man” without doubt partly from “scrotum”, but Sack was also formerly used to refer to the belly or the human body as a whole.
