Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It develops as the gubernaculum elongates caudally. When the processus vaginalis enters the caudal abdominal wall, the development of the inguinal canal starts. After testicular descent has finished, the gubernaculum regresses, leaving behind a remnant testo-scrotal attachment.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is the pouch of serous membrane that covers the testes. It is derived from the vaginal process of the peritoneum, which in the fetus precedes the descent of the testes from the abdomen into the scrotum, therefore, it has an abdominal origin.
