The state or quality of being bulky; material added to increase volume or weight.
From bulk (from Old Norse 'bulk' meaning cargo or heap) + -age (suffix forming abstract nouns). The -age suffix comes from Old French and Latin, creating nouns for states or collections.
Bulkage describes something added just for volume—like filler in food products or padding in boxes—showing how English has specialized words for seemingly mundane concepts!
