A small plastic bag, often used for storing food or small items, or sometimes used as slang for a garment that is loose and baggy.
From 'bag' (from Old Norse 'baggi') with the diminutive suffix '-ie' added, creating the casual, friendly-sounding term. It became common in the 1950s as plastic bags became a standard kitchen item.
Baggies (plastic bags) created an environmental nightmare we're still dealing with, but they were genuinely revolutionary when invented because people could suddenly see their leftovers while storing them, making food storage totally transparent for the first time!
