köken: Inherited from Middle French canton, from Old French canton (from the 1240s), from Old Occitan canton (“corner; canton”) (recorded before 1218), adopted in Occitan from North Italian (Gallo-Italic, early Lombard) cantone (“edge, corner; canton”), ultimately representing Latin cant- (“rim (of a wheel)”) with the addition of the -ō (accusative -ōnem) suffix forming augmentatives in Romance.
köken: From medieval Gallo-Italic chant "edge, corner" plus the -one augmentative suffix. The sense of "a portion of territory" alongside the literal meaning "corner" developed by the early 11th century. The root of chant is ultimately that of Latin cantus (“rim (of a wheel)”).
