Usage Examples

Etymology

**basta** (noun) is a loan‑word from Italian *basta* “enough, stop.” The Italian form comes from the Latin verb *bastare* “to suffice,” itself derived from the adjective *basta* “sufficient.” It entered French in the 19th century as slang, retaining the sense of “enough” or a final, decisive statement.
