Additional Information

Etymology

1. "to strike violently," 1641, perhaps of Scand. origin (cf. Swed. basa "to baste, whip, flog, lash," Da. baske "to beat, strike, cudgel"), from O.N. *basca "to strike;" or the whole group may be independently derived and echoic. Fig. sense of "abuse verbally or in writing" is from 1948. On a bash "on a drunken spree" is slang from 1901, which gave the word its sense of "party."
2. From Middle English *basshen, *basken, likely from Old Norse *baska (“to strike”), akin to Swedish basa (“to baste, whip, lash, flog”), Danish baske (“to beat, strike, cudgel”), German patschen (“to slap”) See: Swedish 'basa', Danish 'baske', German, old spelling 'patschen'.
