Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the combination of 'cattle' (from Old Northern French catel, ultimately from Late Latin captale meaning property or wealth) and 'station' (from Latin statio, meaning a standing place or post). The compound term emerged in 19th-century Australian English to denote a large rural property dedicated to extensive beef cattle raising.
