Morphology

weekender = weekend (semi-transparent) = week + end + er

The bag sense is built on the same 'weekend' base with '-er', and the connection to a weekend trip is still readily inferable.

Etymology

The word weekender also names a small bag for short trips, built from weekend ('end of the week') and the ending -er to show it is for that time. So a weekender bag is simply a suitcase for a couple of days away.
