Etymology 1 edit
There are at least two hypotheses:
- Inherited from a deverbal formation derived from Vulgar Latin *ōsicāre (“to loathe”), from Latin ōdī (“to hate”). Compare Old Spanish? usco (“disgust”).
- Inherited from Latin eschăra (“scab, scar”), from Ancient Greek ἐσχάρα (eskhára, “hearth, brazier, scab”), cognate to English eschar, scurf, scar.
Noun edit
asco m (plural ascos)

Pronunciation edit
Etymology 1 edit
Per Roberts, probably inherited from Old Spanish usgo (“disgust”), back-formed from *osgar (“to loathe”), from Vulgar Latin *ōsicō, from Latin ōsus, perfect passive participle of ōdī (“to hate”), with influence from asqueroso. An alternative hypothesis derives this word from Latin eschăra (“scab, scar”), from Ancient Greek ἐσχάρα (eskhára, “hearth, brazier, scab”), cognate to English eschar, scurf, scar.
