Etymology
The word 'bulk' originated from the Old Norse word 'bulki', which meant 'cargo' or 'ship's cargo'. It was later adopted into Middle English as 'bulke' and referred to a ship's hold or cargo. Over time, the term evolved to also describe large quantities or mass. Today, 'bulk' is commonly used to refer to large quantities of goods or the mass of something substantial.
