Etimologie (Engels)

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”).
