Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'personal', derived from Middle English and Old French via Latin 'personalis' (relating to a person), and 'check', originating from the Old French 'escheke' (chess term meaning in check) and later denoting a bank draft or written order. The compound term emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in North America to distinguish an individual's drawn bank order from corporate drafts or cashier's checks.
