Etymology of FAZE

The word "faze" came into English in the early 19th century and is believed to be of American origin. It is derived from the German word "fassen" meaning "to grasp" or "to seize". The German word made its way into American English as "vase" or "to vaze", used in the sense of "to disturb" or "to irritate". Over time, "vase" transformed into "faze", which has now become the common spelling. The shift in pronunciation likely occurred due to linguistic influences and changes in dialect.
