A type of earthworm or parasitic worm found in soil or as an intestinal parasite in animals, an archaic term.
From medieval Latin or Old English sources, possibly blending 'ascare' (parasitic roundworm) with 'bart' (a creature or worm). This is an obsolete term rarely found outside of historical medical or zoological texts.
Ascabart is basically an old, forgotten name for a parasitic roundworm—it disappeared from medical use as doctors developed better terminology and microscopes let them see what these worms actually were!
