| 释义 |
A duffel bag, duffle bag, or kit bag is a large cylindrical bag made of natural or synthetic fabric, historically with a top closure using a drawstring.[1] Generally a duffel bag is used by non-commissioned personnel in the military, and for travel, sports and recreation by civilians.[2] When used by sailors or marines a duffel is known as a "seabag". A duffel's open structure and lack of rigidity makes it adaptable to carrying sports gear and similar bulky objects. A duffel bag is often confused with a hoop-handled hard-bottomed zippered bag, known generically as a gym bag. HistoryThe name comes from Duffel,[3] a town in Flanders, Belgium, where the thick duffel cloth used to make the bag originated in the 17th century.[4] According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word dates back to 1677, used to describe ‘a coarse woollen cloth having a thick nap or frieze’.[5] In most of the 20th century, a duffel bag typically referred to a specific style of cylindrical, top-entry bag. During the latter part the term began to be misapplied to a generic hoop-handled, hard-bottomed fabric holdall more commonly known as a "gym bag". It is to this bag that additional features such as wheels, zippers, internal structure, and small organizing pockets are often added. See also
