~Pa'see-sie~, _n._ Chinook, PASISI. _A blanket; woollen cloth._

~Pa-si'-ooks~, _n., adj._ Chinook, PASISIUKS. _French; a Frenchman._

Mr. Hale supposed this to be a corruption of the French word _Francais._
It is, however, really derived from the foregoing word, PASISI, with the
terminal UKS, which is a plural form applied to living beings. Lewis and
Clarke (vol. ii., p. 413) give _Pashisheooks,_ clothmen, as the Chinook
name for the whites, and this explanation was also furnished me by people
of that tribe. It has since been generally restricted to the French
Canadians, though among some of the tribes east of the Cascade Range, it
is applied indiscriminately to all the Hudson's Bay people.

this word from the name of a deranged person, Archibald Pelton, or perhaps
Felton, whom Mr. Wilson P. Hunt found on his journey to Astoria, and
carried there with him. The circumstance is mentioned by Franchere, in his
"Narrative," trans, p. 149.
