FASK F*ask Noun
1. A covering for all or part of the face, worn to conceal one's identity. 2. A grotesque or humorous false face worn at a carnival, masquerade, etc.: Halloween masks. 3.

Origin: Circa 2012. Modern English. American English. < Mask Middle French masque, perhaps directly < Italian maschera mask, disguise < pre-Latin *maskara, an extended form of *mask-, probably with orig. sense “black” (blackening the face being a simple form of disguise); another development of the same base is early Medieval Latin masca witch, ghost (also, mask); see mascot. Face: late 13c., from O.Fr. face, from V.L. *facia, from L. facies "appearance, form, figure," and secondarily "visage, countenance;" probably related to facere "to make" (see factitious). Replaced O.E. and wlita. To face (v.) "confront" is first recorded mid-15c. Related: Faced Source Dictionary.com
