History
Etymology
From Middle English Pask, Paske, Paskes, from Old French pasches (modern French Pâques), from Ecclesiastical Latin pascha, from Ancient Greek πάσχα (páskha), from Aramaic פַּסְחָא (pasḥā), from Hebrew פֶּסַח (pésaḥ). Doublet of Pascha, paska, paskha, and Pesach.
Borrowed from Latin pascha. Perhaps also influenced by Old Norse páskar and its derivatives.
