Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗Any of the many small fluid-filled sacs located at the point where a muscle or tendon slides across bone. These sacs serve to reduce friction between the two moving surfaces. · A diverticulum on the cloaca of young birds, which serves as a lymphatic organ and as part of the immune system, but which atrophies as the bird ages. · Any of various pouchlike organs for storing semen prior to copulation in the male or for receiving semen in the female. · A parament about twelve inches square in which the folded corporal is kept in for reasons of reverence.
Borrowed from Medieval Latin bursa (“purse”), from Ancient Greek βύρσα (búrsa); compare purse and bourse, which are doublets.
