Etymology

Inherited from Middle French gazon, from Old French gason, wason (“piece of ground covered with grass, turf”), from Old Frankish *waso (“ground, turf”), from Proto-Germanic *wasô (“moisture; ground”), from Proto-Indo-European *wes- (“moist, damp, wet”). Cognate with German Wasen (“lawn”).
