Where it comes from

Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀧𑀸𑀲𑀕 (pāsaga, “die, dice”), probably from Sanskrit प्रासक (prāsaka, “die, dice”), from the root प्रास् (prās, “to throw or hurl forth”); compare Sanskrit अस्यति (asyati, “throws”). Sanskrit पाशक (pāśaka, “die, dice”) and पाश (pāśa, “die, dice”) are probably instances of Sanskritization of the Middle Indo-Aryan forms.
