In baseball, a hit that allows the batter to reach all four bases and score a run, also known as a home run.
Compound of 'four' and 'bagger' (one who bags or reaches bases); American baseball slang from the late 1800s.
Before 'home run' became standard, baseball fans actually used mathematical terms like 'four-bagger' and 'three-bagger' to describe how many bases a player reached—the sport's vocabulary evolved directly from how the game works!
