Etymology

From Medieval Latin imburs?re, Late Latin imburs?re, from Latin im- (variant of in- (prefix meaning ‘in, inside’ usually affixed to verbs)) + bursa (“animal skin, oxhide; purse (usually made of leather or skin); supply of money, funds”) (from Ancient Greek ?????? (búrsa, “animal skin; skin stripped off a hide”)); analysable as im- +? burse. The word is cognate with Old French enborser (modern French embourser), Italian imborsare, Spanish embolsar (“to bag”).
