Etymology
The word saclike comes from sac meaning 'bag' and the ending -like meaning 'similar to', and it is the same root as the common word sack. So, something saclike is 'bag-like' or shaped like a small pouch, which is why we use it for pockets, animal stomachs, or parts of fungi that look like little bags.
