What is the difference between rucksacks and backpacks?

A rucksack is typically more ruggedly designed for heavier loads and for more robust outdoor activity, i.e for hikers and explorers who want to carry more items with them. A backpack is generally more of an all-rounder; it encompasses a broader spectrum in the bag market, usually top picks for packing up for lighter, everyday trips to work, school or the gym.

Why is a bag called a rucksack?

The word "rucksack" originally came from the German word "rücken". The word 'rucken' means 'back', combined with another German word, 'sack' (bag or pack). The word has now been integrated into everyday British life and used to refer to people's bags.
