[edit] Etymology

Middle English mesche from Old English masc 'net' (perhaps influenced in form by related Old English mæscre 'mesh, spot') both from Proto-Germanic *mēskō-, maskō-, maskwēn-, maskunō-, maskr- (“‘mesh, knot, loop’”) from Proto-Indo-European *mezg- (“‘to knit, twist, plait’”). Akin to Old High German māsca 'mesh', Old Saxon maska 'net', Old Norse mǫskvi, mǫskun 'mesh'
