Etymology

[edit]

chasseur#French/chasser#French (these likely relate to çavuş#Turkish as well) from Late Latin captio.

The overlap of captiō (deception, fraud, deceit, trick) seems the likely source for chouse. See also chase for similar etymology. Darkmagine (talk) 23:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
