Etymology

The word 'suitcase' has its origins in the late 19th century, deriving from the combination of 'suit', which refers to a set of clothes, typically worn together for a particular occasion, and 'case', meaning a container or receptacle. The purpose of a suitcase was to hold a suite of clothing, to facilitate travel. Prior to the term 'suitcase', travelers would use wooden trunks or leather satchels to carry their belongings. Over time, changes in travel preferences led to the evolution of lighter and more portable design, leading to the modern suitcase that we use today, often made from synthetic materials and featuring wheels for easier transportation.
