Best Answer

The term "Sassenach" is derived from a Gaelic word that means "Saxon," which historically referred to people from England or the southern parts of Great Britain. In Scottish history, there has been a long-standing rivalry and conflict with England, which is why the term "Sassenach" is sometimes used as a derogatory or teasing term for English people.
