Probably from Dutch Janke, nickname of Jan, John.
Word History: The origin of Yankee has been the subject of much debate, but the most likely source is the Dutch name Janke, meaning little Jan or little John, a nickname that dates back to the 1680s. Perhaps because it was used as the name of pirates, the name Yankee came to be used as a term of contempt. It was used this way in the 1750s by General James Wolfe, the British general who secured British domination of North America by defeating the French at Quebec. The name may have been applied to New Englanders as an extension of an original use referring to Dutch settlers living along the Hudson River. Whatever the reason, Yankee is first recorded in 1765 as a name for an inhabitant of New England. The first recorded use of the term by the British to refer to Americans in general appears in the 1780s, in a letter by Lord Horatio Nelson, no less. Around the same time it began to be abbreviated to Yank. During the American Revolution, American soldiers adopted this term of derision as a term of national pride. The derisive use nonetheless remained alive and even intensified in the South during the Civil War, when it referred not to all Americans but to those loyal to the Union. Now the term carries less emotionexcept of course for baseball fans.

Word History: The ordinary word sack carries within it a few thousand years of commercial history. Sack, which probably goes back to Middle Eastern antiquity, has a long history because it and its ancestors denoted an object used in trade between various peoples. Thus the Greeks got their word sakkos, a bag made out of coarse cloth or hair, from the Phoenicians with whom they traded. We do not know the Phoenician word, but we know words that are akin to it, such as Hebrew aq and Akkadian saqqu. The Greeks then passed the sack, as it were, to the Latin-speaking Romans, who transmitted their word saccus, a large bag or sack, to the Germanic tribes with whom they traded, who gave it the form *sakkiz (other peoples have also taken this word from Greek or Latin, including speakers of Welsh, Russian, Polish, and Albanian). The speakers of Old English, a Germanic language, used two forms of the word, sæc, from *sakkiz, and sacc, directly from Latin; the second Old English form is the ancestor of our sack.

easel
n.
An upright frame for displaying or supporting something, such as an artist's canvas.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Dutch ezel, ass, from Middle Dutch esel, from Latin asellus, diminutive of asinus.]
Word History: A painter's ass is not a phrase that immediately brings to mind an accessory to the artist's profession. But easel comes to us from the Dutch word ezel, meaning ass, donkey. The Dutch word was eventually extended to mean an upright frame for displaying or supporting something, in the same way that the English word horse has come to mean a piece of gymnastic equipment with an upholstered body. Developments such as these illustrate the playfulness or wit sometimes introduced into language when speakers use perceived similarities between two objects to name one of them.

Early oriental sailing vessels - called junks - were ridiculously clumsy ships on the high seas, and the Europeans were said to have laughed every time one came into port. What's more, many of these ships were loaded to the gunwales with items that no European sailor would accept as gifts. So it came to pass that the apparently useless cargo came to bear the name of the vessel that transported it.
