flasco

Latin

Borrowed from Frankish *flaskā (“bottle, flask”), from Proto-Germanic *flaskǭ.

flascō m or f (genitive flascōnis); third declension

Usually masculine, but a feminine use is known from Alcuin, perhaps following the source Germanic word. Feminine gender could be found in forms with other endings, such as flasca, flascōna.
