Where this word comes from

Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese fechar (13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria), from Vulgar Latin pesclum, from Latin pessulus (“bolt”). Probably a southern Portuguese variant, with the change of /p/ to /f/ reflecting Arabic influence. By surface analysis, fecho + -ar.
