Where this word comes from
Attested since the 1580s, from Old Occitan bagassa (“whore”), from Gallo-Roman *bacassa ("servant"). Some scholars previously postulated an origin in Arabic بَاغِيَة (bāḡiya, “prostitute”), from بَغَاء (baḡāʔ), but this was doubted by Émile Littré and is now considered unlikely.
