Etymology
Φασαρία is a loanword in Modern Greek, and its ultimate source is disputed. Greek reference dictionaries generally trace it through Ottoman Turkish rather than to native Greek roots, but the trail before that point is not firmly established. Because of this uncertainty, no reliable Indo-European root or direct cognate set can be given.
