[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Venetan scarsèła (“purse, pocket”), from Old Occitan escarcella, perhaps from a diminutive of Medieval Latin scarsus (“scarce”) (of uncertain origin; see English scarce), as in a bag where one's scarce savings are stored. Other theories connect the word to Old French escharpe (“bag; satchel”) (of possible Frankish or Latin origin). Compare also Italian scarsella, French escarcelle.
