One of the most common questions I get asked is how to spell baggage. The correct spelling is actually “baggage,” not “bagage” or “bage.” The word “baggage” comes from the Old French word “bagage,” which means “luggage, baggage, or pack.” The word “baggage” first appeared in English in the early 14th century. It’s thought to have come into English through the Anglo-Norman word “bagage.”
