Etymology

The term 'backpack' originated in the United States in the early 20th century. It combines 'back' and 'pack', referring to a pack that is carried on one's back. Initially used by hikers and military personnel, backpacks became popular for students in the mid-20th century as a convenient way to carry books and supplies. The concept of a backpack has evolved over time to include various designs, materials, and features for different purposes.
