Etymology

Inherited from Vulgar Latin pascua, from Late Latin pascha (influenced by pascua 'pastures, grazing', perhaps because of the bitter herbs of the Passover seder or the end of fasting for Lent at Easter), from Ancient Greek πάσχα (páskha), ultimately from Hebrew פֶּסַח (pésakh, “Passover”).
