caseus
Latin
Etymology
Unknown according to De Vaan.[1] The old hypothesis deriving it from Proto-Indo-European *kwh₂et- (“to ferment, become sour”)[2] has the problem that *w isn't supposed to disappear in Latin (the expected outcome would start with qua- and not ca-). In this case, the cognates listed under *kwh₂et- are perhaps loans from the same substrate source as the Latin term.
