The word "Jasey" is derived from the Scottish dialect term "jasey-crown", which originally referred to a felt or cloth head covering, typically worn by women. The term "jasey" is believed to originate from the Medievil Latin word "gaga", meaning a wandering beggar, possibly through a Scottish Gaelic intermediary "deasach", meaning mantle or cloak. Over time, the word "jasey" has come to be associated with a type of knitted or crocheted hat, often worn for warmth or as a protective head covering.
