Where this word comes from
Unknown; compare Ancient Greek βάσκανος (báskanos, “sorcerer, slanderer”, adjective and noun), possibly from the same European substrate language. Sometimes connected with fascis (“bundle”), via semantic link "to bind with magic"; even if ultimately unrelated, semantic influence from fascis is quite likely regardless.
