hacha

axe, hatchet (tool for felling trees or chopping wood); ace, wizard (someone who is especially skilled or unusually talented in a particular field)

Inherited from Old Spanish facha, borrowed from Old French hache, of Germanic origin.

a kind of torch or large candle (often with four sticks); a kind of wick or fuse (often made with esparto grass and tar), which does not go out easily in the wind; bundle of straw tied up like a strip and often used to help cover huts or other field constructions

Inherited from Old Spanish facha, from a Vulgar Latin *fascla, from syncopation of *fascula, presumably from a crossing of Latin facula and fascis. Doublet of fácula, a borrowing. Cognate with Old Galician-Portuguese facha.
