Etymology: < west adj. + Saxon n., after post-classical Latin Westsaxones, plural (frequently from 9th cent. in British sources; compare quot. ?a1475 at sense A. 1; also in continental sources). Compare post-classical Latin Occidentales Saxones , plural (frequently from 7th cent. in British sources; compare quot. 1565 at sense A. 1; also in continental sources).Compare Old English Westseaxe (also Westseaxan ) West Saxons, (hence) Wessex ( < the uninflected (originally adverb) stem of west adj.
