baste

baste
{{11}}baste (1) "sew together loosely," c.1400, from O.Fr. bastir "build, construct, sew up (a garment), baste, make, prepare, arrange" (12c., Mod.Fr. bátir "to build"), probably from a Germanic source, from P.Gmc. *bastjan "join together with bast" (Cf. O.H.G. besten; see BAST (Cf. bast)).
{{12}}baste (2) "to soak in gravy, moisten," late 14c., of unknown origin, possibly from O.Fr. basser "to moisten, soak," from bassin "basin" (see BASIN (Cf. basin)).
{{12}}baste (3) "beat, thrash," 1530s, perhaps from the cookery sense of BASTE (Cf. baste) (2) or from some Scandinavian source (e.g. Swedish basa "to beat, flog," bösta "to thump") akin to O.N. beysta "to beat," related to O.E. beatan (see BEAT (Cf. beat)).
