词源 2
From Middle English basten, of uncertain etymon, possibly from Old French basser (“moisten, soak”), from bacin (“basin”).
词源 3
Perhaps from the cookery sense of baste or from some Scandinavian etymon. Compare Old Norse beysta (“to beat, thresh”) (whence
Danish børste (“to beat up”)). Compare also
Swedish basa (“to beat with a rod, to flog”) and
Swedish bösta (“to thump”).
Might be related to French bâton (“stick”) (formerly baston); English baton comes from bâton; see also French bastonnade (“the act of beating with a stick”).
