In β. forms apparently < French assapan (Cuvier 1819: see note), shortened < †assapanick ( < English), quoted by Buffon (compare quot. 1780) from a French work of 1640, which in turn closely paraphrases the English work cited in quot. 1612. Compare flying squirrel n.French assapan is apparently not used in Cuvier's Règne animal (1817), but it appears two years later in the caption of a plate relating to his work, and is subsequently used by him in Mém. du Muséum d'histoire naturelle 10 (1823) 125.
