語源
英語の原文(Wiktionary)
From Middle English faucet, fawcett, from Old French fausset, of uncertain origin: * Possibly from Late Latin falsāre (“to falsify”) or from a diminutive of Latin faux, faucēs (“throat”). * Alternatively, from Old Norse foss, fors (“waterfall”), thus, cognate with English force, foss.
