Inherited from Old French baste, probably borrowed from Provençal or Occitan basto, from Frankish *bastijan (“to weave, plait, sew”).[1] But others suggest it was named after the fashion of the Basques,[2][3] the same as basquine[4][5][6] and basquiña.[7]

Etymology 2

This form is inherited from Middle French and took precedence in the mid 15th century.[8] Derived from Latin Vascō, singular form of the plural noun Vascones (see there for more).

The transition of the initial -v- to -b- indicates a likely loan from Spanish or Occitan. Old French forms included bascle, and Old Provençal (Occitan), bascon, basclon.[9] Medieval Latin had the plurals bascli, basculi,[10] and basclos, basculos, but also basclones, basculones, while Renaissance Latin used Basculus among other names.[11] The latinate forms with a v have remained in use too. Doublet of gascon and vascón, from the accusative form Vasconem. A connection to the family of Basque euskal, euskara is uncertain.
