Nassan.

Brit.

/ˈnasə/, U.S.

/ˈnɑsə/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Nassa.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Nassa (P. F. Röding Museum Boltenianum (1798) ii. 132; J. B. P. A. de Lamarck 1799, in Mém. de la Soc. d'Hist. Nat. Paris 71) < classical Latin nassa basket fish-trap (further etymology uncertain). Compare French nasse (1803).

Zoology.

Originally: †a genus of carnivorous marine gastropods of the family Nassariidae which includes some dog whelks (obsolete: see note). Subsequently also: a genus of marine gastropods of the family Muricidae. Also (occasionally with lower-case initial): a mollusc of either of these genera; (also, in nassa shell) the shell of such a mollusc.Valid publication of the (current) genus name: P. F. Röding Museum Boltenianum (1798) ii. 132. This preoccupies Nassa Lamarck 1799, which is therefore taxonomically invalid and has been replaced by Nassarius.
