A bag that promises to hold everything and somehow always holds your keys hostage at the bottom.
means A large bag or container built for hauling an assortment of items, or a vehicle/vessel designed to carry many passengers or much cargo.
from A straightforward 19th-century compound of 'carry' and 'all,' first describing a light horse-drawn carriage that could seat a whole family, then stretching to cover roomy bags, and later large vehicles — the word doing exactly what it says, no hidden roots to dig up.
