Where this word comes from
15th century, semantically after Italian banco, banca (“bench” and “bank”), from Old High German bank (etymology 1 above). The Italianized form Banco is attested in German texts alongside native Bank, Bänke. Since the 18th century, a third form Banque, Banquen arises under influence of French banque, itself from the Italian. This then leads to the contemporary situation with identical singulars but distinct plural forms.
