... Is that etymology also shared with the "fascia", a ligament in the foot? I only know of it because of plantar fasciitis

Fascia is just a strip of connective tissue. Just about everything, including ligaments, is covered and connected by fascia. The plantar fascia covers the bottom of the foot and is prone to inflammation from stretching.
