Where this word comes from
From Old Galician-Portuguese (first attested locally as appellative circa 1300, feysca; attested as nickname as Falisca since 1167 in local Medieval Latin). From Proto-Germanic *falwiskǭ (“spark, ash over burning ambers”), from Proto-Germanic *falwaz (“fallow”) from Proto-Indo-European *polʷos, or from Vulgar Latin *favillesca, from favilla (“embers”). Cognate with Portuguese faísca and Asturian falisca. Compare also Old High German falawisca (“hot ashes”), Old Norse fǫlski (“ash over burning ambers”), French flammèche and Piedmontese falispa.
