Etymology

The word 'tote' originates from the African American Vernacular English (AAVE) term, which can be traced back to the 17th century. It was likely derived from the Bantu word 'tota,' which also means to carry or to lift. Over time, the word 'tote' was assimilated into the general English vocabulary. By the 19th century, it became widely popular, especially in the context of carrying goods or belongings. The use of the word has evolved, and it has been embraced in various forms, often associated with items like tote bagsโ€”large, sturdy bags designed for carrying personal items. 'Toting' has since become a colloquial term used to describe the act of carrying something around, maintaining its roots in the foundational concept of transporting goods.
