Etymology
Inherited from Old Catalan vaxell, from Late Latin vāscellum, diminutive of vās (“vessel”). Compare Occitan vaissèl, French vaisseau. It was an old-fashioned word until about 1990, when it was used to replace barco, which was felt to be too Castilian-sounding. See: French Nouns '
vaisseau'.
