Этимология

[ 'p&rs ] (noun.) before 12th century. From Middle English, from Old English purs (“purse”), partly from Old English pusa (“wallet, bag, scrip”), and partly from Old English burse (“pouch, bag”). Old English pusa comes from Proto-Germanic *pusēn, *pū́saz (“bag, sack, scrip”), from Proto-Indo-European *būs- (“to swell, stuff”), and is cognate with Old High German pfoso (“pouch, purse”), Low Saxon pūse (“purse, bag”), Old Norse posi (“purse, bag”), Danish pose (“purse, bag”). Old English burse comes from Medieval Latin bursa (“leather bag”). Compare also Old French borse (French: bourse), Old Saxon bursa (“bag”), Old High German burissa (“wallet”).
