Etymology: Inherited from Old French chas, perhaps a derivation from Latin capsus (“sort of cage, hollow body”), related to capsa (“case, box”). The sense evolution could have been from "cage" to "bubble," as attested in the writings of Apicius (a Roman cookbook author), and then finally used to represent a small hollow object, or a cavity.
