bash

bash
{{11}}bash (n.) "a heavy blow," 1805, from BASH (Cf. bash) (v.). Meaning "an attempt" is attested by 1948. On a bash "on a drunken spree" is slang from 1901, which gave the word its sense of "party."
{{12}}bash (v.) "to strike violently," 1640s, perhaps of Scandinavian origin (Cf. Swedish basa "to baste, whip, flog, lash," Danish baske "to beat, strike, cudgel"), from O.N. *basca "to strike;" or the whole group may be independently derived and echoic. Figurative sense of "abuse verbally or in writing" is from 1948. Related: Bashed; bashing.
