Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the noun 'cashier' (ultimately from the French 'caisse', meaning chest or box for money) combined with 'check' (from chess and the Exchequer, referring to a written financial order). The compound term emerged in late 19th-century American banking English to denote a guaranteed financial instrument drawn directly upon the bank's own funds rather than an individual account.
