pursed

/ˈpɝst/ verb

simple past and past participle of purse

Word Origin Purse comes from Greek byrsa 'hide, leather' — a bag made of animal skin. Pursed means drawn together like a purse string, as in pursed lips. The same root gives us bursar (a treasurer) and reimburse (put back in the purse). So pursed lips are like a little leather bag.
