What does Bag really mean?

Hey there! So, when we talk about the word "bag," we're referring to something you use to carry things in. It's like a container made of cloth, plastic, or other materials that has an opening at the top. You've probably seen all different kinds of bags, like backpacks, purses, and grocery bags.

But "bag" can also mean to capture or snatch something. Like when a basketball player tries to "bag" a rebound or when a hunter "bags" a deer. It's kind of like grabbing something and keeping it safe inside your bag.

So, "bag" can mean both the thing you carry stuff in and the action of grabbing or capturing something. It's a really versatile word! Just think about all the different types of bags you've seen and all the ways people use them. It's pretty cool when you stop and think about it!
