Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PURSE (Late Lat. bursa, adapted from Gr. Gupta, hide, skin; possibly O. Eng. pusa, bag, has influenced the change from b to p) , a small bag for holding money, originally a
leather
  pouch tied at the mouth, but now of various shapes. The
great
  seal of
England
  is borne by the purse-bearer in a purse, usually styled " burse," decorated with the arms of the kingdom, the " burse" being thus one of the insignia of
office
  of the lord
chancellor
  of
England
 . The " privy purse" is the amount of public money set apart in the civil
list
  for the private and personal use of the sovereign (see PRIvY PURSE).
