Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Old French word 'bougette', meaning a small leather bag or purse, which comes from the Latin 'bulga' (leather sack). By the 18th century in Britain, the term came to refer to the leather bag used by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to contain and present the government's financial proposals, eventually shifting to mean the financial plan itself.
