basket

== English == === Etymology === From Middle English basket, from Anglo-Norman baschet, basket, bascat, of obscure origin. One theory is that it derives from Late Latin bascauda (“kettle, table-vessel”), from Proto-Brythonic (in Breton baskodenn), from Proto-Celtic *baskis (“bundle, load”), from purported Proto-Indo-European *bʰask- (“bundle”), but this is now widely viewed as a substrate word for phonetic reasons. Related to Latin fascis (“bundle, package, load”) (whence English fasces), Albanian bokshe (“bundle”), Breton bac'h (“bundle, load”), Ancient Greek φάκελος (phákelos) and βάσκιοι (báskioi) (“bundle (of sticks)”); see also faggot (“(originally) bundle of sticks”). === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) enPR: bäsʹkĭt, IPA(key): /ˈbɑːs.kɪt/ (Northern England, Scotland) IPA(key): /ˈbas.kɪt/, /ˈbas.kɛt/ (US) (General American) enPR: băsʹkĭt, IPA(key): /ˈbæs.kɪt/ (weak vowel merger) IPA(key): /ˈbæs.kət/ (General Australian) enPR: bäsʹkət, IPA(key): /ˈbaːs.kət/ Hyphenation: bas‧ket Rhymes: -æskɪt, -ɑːskɪt === Noun === basket (countable and uncountable, plural baskets) A lightweight container, generally round, open at the top, and tapering toward the bottom.
