Sewn-in pouch
A pocket is a compartment in clothing for holding things.
When pocket comes before another noun, it indicates either something small enough to carry in a pocket (pocketknife, pocket watch), or something usually carried there (pocket money).
Associations with money are also present in out of pocket (paid for by you, not someone else), deep pockets (wealth), and empty pockets (poverty).
A pocket can also be an area distinct from its surroundings (pockets of dissent).
To pocket something is to put it in a pocket.
