    I’m just guessing here, but perhaps it’s because it’s small enough to ‘tuck’ into a purse or pocket? Yeah, that’s all I’ve got. ^^;

    When I hear the word “tuck” my first thought is what drag performers do to keep the manly parts from stealing the show 🙂

    Maybe because it’s, like…tucked into that leather? Or because it’s small and can be tucked into places? Those are my best guesses.

    I’m thinking you can tuck it in a pocket or purse and carry it around.

    The thing is, we know at least somebody in Japan knows about the English construction “pocket [noun]”, because just a couple of years ago there was a popular cartoon series with that for its title (albeit with both words abbreviated to their first two morae in typical Japanese fashion).

    Perhaps it is a book that was designed by Friar Tuck?
