Explanation
กระเป๋าสะพายหลัง is made from กระเป๋า “bag,” สะพาย “to carry over the shoulder,” and หลัง “back.” Literally, it is a “bag carried on the back.” It is neutral and usable in both everyday speech and writing. Bags are commonly counted with the classifier ใบ, as in กระเป๋าสะพายหลังหนึ่งใบ, “one backpack.”
Usage
Use this word when talking about backpacks for school, commuting, travel, airports, shopping, hiking, or outdoor gear.
Caution
Do not use it for a shoulder bag, crossbody bag, or handbag unless it is actually worn on the back. Use กระเป๋าสะพาย, กระเป๋าสะพายข้าง, or กระเป๋าถือ instead as appropriate.
