Etymology
Ascuns is the past participle of the verb a ascunde, to hide. It descends from Latin absconsus, the participle of abscondere, formed from abs- (away) and condere (to put together, to store). The Latin root dere in condere traces further back to an ancient root meaning to put or place, the same root that gave English the verb do.
