A small plastic bag for storing food items, especially one used for freezing or organizing small quantities.
From 'bag' + diminutive suffix '-ie' (making it small and informal). Modern slang, primarily Australian and New Zealand English, emerging in the late 20th century with plastic bag ubiquity.
The '-ie' suffix makes English wonderfully affectionate—we say 'baggie' or 'bagie' for a small bag the same way we say 'doggie' for a dog, turning mundane objects into cute, familiar things!
