"etymology_text": "From earlier cahoot. This word was used in popular English literature in the early nineteenth century. It comes perhaps from French cahute (“hut”), from Middle French quahute, from Old French *cahute, chahute, possibly as a blend of cabane (“cabin”) and/or caverne (“cavern”) + Old French hute (“hut”); or alternatively from Old French ca- (pejorative prefix) + hute (“hut”). Also possibly considered to be from French cohorte, or a slang form of English cohort in the meaning \"accomplice.\"\nPossibly from Irish Gaelic cothú, meaning \"enrichment.\" If the first US mentions coincide with mass Irish immigration to the US, that would be evidence.",

"etymology_text": "From earlier cahoot. This word was used in popular English literature in the early nineteenth century. It comes perhaps from French cahute (“hut”), from Middle French quahute, from Old French *cahute, chahute, possibly as a blend of cabane (“cabin”) and/or caverne (“cavern”) + Old French hute (“hut”); or alternatively from Old French ca- (pejorative prefix) + hute (“hut”). Also possibly considered to be from French cohorte, or a slang form of English cohort in the meaning \"accomplice.\"\nPossibly from Irish Gaelic cothú, meaning \"enrichment.\" If the first US mentions coincide with mass Irish immigration to the US, that would be evidence.",
