There seems to be no connection with Latin, It is a word adopted from the Scandinavian in early English times. The English word was 'dasshen' - Norse and Danish was 'daske' - Swedish 'daske'. In earlier times 'dash' also referred to giving a tip or bribe, adopted from Dutch as 'dache' or 'dasche' which is some was was attributed to the Portuguese word 'das' which is related to the term 'dar' meaning to give

Yes, the word "dash" does have a Latin origin. It comes from the Latin word "dare," which means "to throw." Over time, its meaning evolved to include a sudden burst of energy or speed, which is reflected in its current usage.
