Origin

Late Middle English: from French boursier or (in sense 1) medieval Latin bursarius, from bursa 'bag, purse' (see bursa).

  • purse from Old English:

    A purse gets its name from its traditional material, leather. The word came into English some time in the 11th or 12th centuries from Latin bursa, which meant ‘money bag’ and also ‘leather, animal skin’. Bursa is the source of bursar (late 16th century), disburse (mid 16th century), and reimburse (early 17th century). Despite the difference in spelling, it is also the root of sporran, a small pouch worn around the waist by Scotsmen as part of Highland dress. The Latin word developed into Irish sparán ‘purse’ and then Scottish Gaelic sporan, and was first used in English by the Scottish novelist Sir Walter Scott in the early 19th century.

Rhymes

converser, curser, cursor, disburser, mercer, purser, rehearser, reverser, vice versa
