Noun

IPA: /ˈkaː.sus/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈkäːs̠ʊs̠] [Classical-Latin], /ˈka.sus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈkäːs̬us] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From cāssus with regular degemination after a long vowel, for cadō (“to fall, happen”) + -tus (“action noun suffix”), from Proto-Italic *kadō, Proto-Indo-European *ḱh₂d- (“to fall”). The grammatical sense is a semantic loan from Ancient Greek πτῶσις (ptôsis).
