basket
EnglishEdit
EtymologyEdit
From Middle English basket, from Anglo-Norman bascat, of obscure origin.
One theory is that it derives from Late Latin bascauda (“kettle, table-vessel”), from Proto-Brythonic (in Breton baskodenn), from Proto-Celtic *baskis (“bundle, load”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰask- (“bundle”). Related to Latin fascis (“bundle, package, load”). Doublet of fasces.
