tysca

Old English

Tysċan

Etymology

Uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-West Germanic *tuskijō (literally “frog-catcher, frog-eater”), related to Old English tosċa (“frog, toad”) (compare Old English frysċa (“bittern”) from frosċ (“frog”)); or alternatively derived from Proto-West Germanic *tūsōn (“to ruffle”), related to Old English tysse (“coarse cloth”).
