“pocket” in Latin

pera (a leathern travelling-bag, suspended from the neck): marsupium (a money-bag or purse for large sums of money; for which we find, also, zona, cingulum, because fastened round the waist): crumena (a bag or purse for smaller sums of money, slung round the neck, and hanging on the breast). ☞ The ancients had no pockets; but instead of them, they made use of the folds of their garments (sinus); hence we must always render our word “pocket” by sinus, except when reference is made to money; in which case we may also employ one of the words above-mentioned; e.g., to bring home from the city a pocket-full of money, sinum aeris plenum, or marsupium plenum urbe domum reportare. To put one’s hand in one’s pocket, sinum laxare or expedire (in general, in order to take anything out): manum in crumenam demittere (to take out money): to pocket or put a thing into one’s pocket; PROP. aliquid in sinum inserere; (figuratively, i. e., to appropriate a thing) aliquid domum suam avertere, convertere, or ferre; or simply, aliquid avertere: to pocket an affront, contumelias perpeti: to search one’s pockets, aliquem, or alicujus vestem, excutere: out of one’s own pocket, e peculiaribus loculis suis (Suet., Galb., 12): a book of a pocket size, *liber minoribus plagulis descriptus.
