فشقار
Arabic
Alternative forms
- فَشْقَر (fašqar)
Etymology
A Romance borrowing. The exact meaning is found in Aragonese fascal (“a heap of sheaves, a bundle of six sheaves; nautical: a wisp of plaits of raw esparto from which cables are made”); Galician vascallo (“a bundle of straw”) is also close in meaning. Ultimately from a derivative of Proto-Celtic *baskis (“bundle”).
