means The unresolved emotional history — past hurts, habits, and expectations — that a person carries into new relationships or situations.

from From Old French 'bagage,' built on 'bague' meaning bundle or pack, tied to the gear and supplies soldiers or travelers hauled along on a journey. The literal sense — trunks, sacks, suitcases — is centuries old. The emotional sense, where your 'baggage' is trauma and exes rather than trunks, is a much later figurative stretch: if luggage weighs you down and follows you everywhere, so does unresolved history.
