The origin of the term “warp”: in Old Norse “varp” meant „the cast of a net”.
The origin of the term “fascia” can be traced to the Proto Indo European stem “bhasko”, meaning “bundle” or “ bunch.” This stem evolved to the Latin “fascis” - “to bind”, “to gather into a bundle”, and then to “fascia” – a term meaning both “strips of cloth” used as “bandages” and decorative “ribbons”.
The term “fascia” in an anatomical sense, similar to the contemporary one, was probably first used by anatomist J. Hunter in 1788.
