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).
