Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Middle French word 'caisse', meaning 'chest or box for money' (ultimately from Old Provençal 'caissa' and Latin 'capsa' for box), which shifted in meaning to refer to the money contained within the box. By the 16th century, the term entered English to denote ready money or coin.
