Where this word comes from
From Old Galician-Portuguese faisca, feisca (attested in Medieval Latin as falisca), of uncertain origin. Possibly 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 Galician faísca and Asturian falisca. Compare also Middle French falivoche, Old High German valwische, Old Italian falavesca, Old Norse fǫlski, Old Spanish fuisca and Swedish falaska.
