bolsa

Sack in Spanish

Bolsa is Spanish for bag, purse, or pouch, appearing in English primarily in place names and financial contexts.

La Bolsa refers to stock exchanges in Spanish-speaking countries: The Bolsa Mexicana fell sharply today.

In Southern California, Bolsa appears in geographic names like Bolsa Chica, originally describing bay-like coastal formations.

The word sometimes appears untranslated in bilingual communities: She grabbed her bolsa and left.
