Bojo

/ˈboʊhoʊ/ noun

Definition

A small bag, pouch, or bundle; possibly a term from Hindi or a regional word for a carrying container.

Etymology

Possibly from Hindi 'bojo' or related South Asian language terms for a bundle or package. The word may have entered English through colonial trade contact with India.

Kelly Says

English has hundreds of words from Hindi that we barely recognize as 'foreign'—bungalow, shampoo, and jungle all came the same way! Every language is a time capsule of trade routes and cultural contact.
