Etymology of PASK

The word "Pask" has its origin in Old English, specifically from the Old English word "pascha" (pronounced paʃa). It is derived from the Latin word "pascha" and the Greek word "pascha" (πάσχα), which ultimately comes from the Hebrew word "pesach" (פֶּסַח).

"Pesach" is a Jewish holiday known as Passover in English, which commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. The term "pesach" means "to pass over" or "to spare", referencing the biblical story where God spared the Israelites' firstborns during the tenth plague in Egypt.

As the word passed through different languages, such as Latin and Old English, it underwent changes in pronunciation and spelling to become "pascha" or "Pask".
