Etymology

Apparently from Old French compas, perhaps from Medieval Latin compassus (“circle, circuit”), or the medieval Latin term is derived from Old French. In either case, deverbal from Vulgar Latin *compassāre (“to pace off”), from com- + *passāre (“to step”), from Latin passus (“step”), originally the perfect passive participle of pandō (“to stretch out”). See: Latin Nouns 'passus'.
