Sassenach is a word used chiefly by the Scots to designate an Englishman. It
derives from the Scottish Gaelic Sasunnach meaning, originally, "Saxon",
from the Latin "Saxones"; it was also formerly applied by Highlanders to
(non-Gaelic-speaking) Lowlanders. As employed by Scots or Scottish
English-speakers today it is usually used in jest, as a (friendly) term of
abuse. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) gives 1771 as the date of the
earliest written use of the word in English.
