Etymology 1

Either from the following:

  • From Malay basahan (daily used items or clothes), from basah (wet).
  • From basa + -han. However, the expected conjugation would be *basaan since basa (wet) ends with a glottal stop, and the root being basa (reading) is unlikely. Possibly an irregular conjugation.

Cognate of Kapampangan basan (rag).
