Originally likely derived from either Sack(“sack, bag”) with the ablauting iterative/inchoative suffix -(e)le (which would, however, yield /æ/ for the first vowel in most modern dialects) or as a back-formation of Seckler, from Middle High German seckelære.
The jounce sense has been explained by comparison to bǖtleⁿ for which a parallel semantic development has been claimed to exist. It is also found in the Deutsches Wörterbuch under sacken.[1]
The run sense, which is the dominant if not the only sense in modern times, has been recorded since at least the beginning of the 20th century. It is included in the 7th volume (1913) of the Schweizerisches Idiotikon with the usage restrictions Knabensprache(“sociolect of young boys”) and Basel-Stadt. Parallelly, it has also found its way into Hanns Bächtold-Stäubli's 1922 slang dictionary Die schweizerische Soldatensprache 1914–1918(“Swiss army slang 1914-1918”).[2] The vulgar connotation possibly arose from a folk-etymological belief that it derives from Seckel(“scrotum”).[3]
