Etymology
From, from , , from.

The sense “rejection of a (romantic) request” is formed back from the expressions,. These derive from certain older customs, which involved a bottomless basket as a symbol of the end or inexistence of love. The further origin of this symbol seems uncertain, though it has been plausibly related to the apparent mediaeval practice of pulling a secret visitor up to one’s window in a basket. Compare the same in 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬.
