Ancient Greek
Etymology
Of unknown origin. Perhaps related to ἀσκός (askós, “skin, hide”), thus with original meaning "to prepare a skin".[1] According to Morris, possibly borrowed from Egyptian sqr (“to strike, to work metal”), along with other metalworking terms used by Daedalus, such as Ἱκμάλιος (Hikmálios, “craftsman”) and ἕντεα (héntea, “armor, equipment”).[2]
