You can hold this word as one moment: a space, and things being pressed into it until the empty room is gone. Sometimes you are the one pressing, and that is the evening's work before a trip. Sometimes the word names the stuff you press in. Sometimes it names how everything ended up sitting. And sometimes it names what you were charged for doing it. Filling the space is the part that never changes.
可以把這個字想成同一個畫面：有一塊空間，東西一直被塞進去，直到空隙沒了。有時候動手塞的是你，那就是出發前一晚那一攤事…更多收起
可以把這個字想成同一個畫面：有一塊空間，東西一直被塞進去，直到空隙沒了。有時候動手塞的是你，那就是出發前一晚那一攤事。有時候這個字指的是你塞進去的那些東西。有時候指的是最後排得多整齊、多緊。有時候指的是別人幫你塞這件事跟你收的錢。不變的那一塊，就是「把空間填滿」。From the word’s history
The source records it as Middle English pakkynge, that is the verb and noun pack plus -ing. The -ing form is what lets one word cover the doing, the stuff used in the doing, the result of the doing and the charge for it.
辭源資料記的是中古英語 pakkynge，也就是 pack 加上 -ing。正是這個 -ing 讓同一個字可以同時指「做這件事」、「做這件事用的東西」、「做完之後的樣子」，還有「做這件事收你的錢」。
