to, at, in or into the home, office, etc. of · by extension, to, at or in the country of · in; among (a group of things or people of the same type)
köken: Inherited from Middle French chez, from Old French chies, from Latin casa (“house”). Doublet of case. The lack of final -e may be due to contraction in unstressed position; however, it has also been explained as the continuation of a Proto-Romance dative-genitive form case (from Latin casae).
köken: From de (“from”) + Old Spanish onde (“whence, from where”), from Latin unde. Replaced Old Spanish o (“where”), from Latin ubi, although the latter survives, in a marginal way, in the form do, which is also prefixed with de.
at someone's place or building, usually their home or workplace. Same as Icelandic hjá. · with someone (used instead of med with a few static verbs, such as stay)
köken: Compare Old Swedish i hoss (“close by, nearby”); probably from a weak form of Old Swedish hūs (“house”) (Swedish hus); cognate with Danish hos. Compare Icelandic hjá (“at, by”) from hjón (“married couple”), French chez (“to/at the house of”) from Latin casa (“house”).
at, by, near, among · at the house or residence of; chez · before, in the presence of, in the writings of, in view of
köken: Seems connected with ob and ad, thus its strict meaning would be “on to”, “unto”. De Vaan theorizes either a connection with apiō (“to tie”) or a derivation from *ad-pod, formed by the preverb ad (“to”) and the word for "foot", meaning something like "at the foot of" (cf. French chez). The latter option is found in other words such as oppidum.

In prīncipiō erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum et Deus erat Verbum.
köken: From Proto-Balto-Slavic *pos, from Proto-Indo-European *pós (“afterwards, post-”). Cognate with Proto-Slavic *pozdь́nъ (“late”), Latin post (“behind, after”).
Originally an unstressed form of hus (“house”) undergoing a development in meaning from "at someone's house" to "with someone" – analogous to the development of Latin casa (“house”) to French chez (“at (the house of)”). Displaced Old Norse hjá.
