lascarn.

Brit. /ˈlaskə/, /laˈskɑː/, U.S. /ˈlæskər/
Forms: Also 1600s laskayre, ( luscar), 1600s–1700s lascarr.
Etymology: Either an erroneous European use of Urdu lashkar army, camp (see lashkar n.), or a shortened form of its derivative lashkarī (see lascarine n.). In Portuguese c1600 laschar occurs in the same sense as lasquarim , i.e. Indian soldier; this use, from which the current applications are derived, is not recorded in English (but see quot. 1698 at sense 1).
1. (Frequently with capital initial.) An East Indian sailor.
