Word OriginMiddle English: via Old French from medieval Latin bastardus, probably from bastum ‘packsaddle’, a horse's saddle used to support loads; compare with Old French fils de bast, literally ‘packsaddle son’ (i.e. the son of a mule driver who uses a packsaddle for a pillow and is gone by morning).
