Sacca

Sacca is a term whose primary usage is Italian, where it denotes a bag, sack, or pouch—a flexible container used to carry items. The word is derived from the Latin saccus, passing into Italian through historical linguistic development. In everyday Italian, sacca appears in compound phrases and common expressions such as sacca da viaggio (travel bag) or sacca a tracolla (shoulder bag).

In addition to its ordinary meaning as a bag, sacca is also used in specialized terminology to refer to sac-like structures in anatomy or biology, a usage analogous to the English word sac. In these technical contexts, the exact term may vary by field and language conventions, with sacca functioning as part of compound terms to describe cavity- or pouch-bearing structures.

Beyond its lexical senses, sacca also appears as a surname and in geographic names within Italian-speaking regions. As a standalone proper noun, it is relatively uncommon outside those contexts. In languages other than Italian, sacca is generally not used as an ordinary word, and its appearance is typically limited to quotations, translations, or references to Italian terms or names.
