The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

Walter A. Shumaker and George Foster Longsdorf; ed. James C. Cahill · 1922

The corruption of Saxons. A name of contempt formerly given to the English, while they affected to be called "Angles." They are still so called by the Wdsh. Apparently this corresponds to the Scotch and Irish rendering of "Saxon" by the word "Sassenach."
