köken: From Middle High German val, from Old High German fal, from Proto-West Germanic *fall. Cognate with Dutch val, English fall. The sense “case” in all its shapes is a calque of Latin casus.
köken: Inherited from Old French cause, borrowed from Classical Latin causa. Compare chose, an inherited doublet.
aile: à cause de, à cause que, causal, causalité, cause perdue, en cause, en connaissance de cause, en désespoir de cause, en tout état de cause, et pour cause
köken: From Proto-Finnic *kirstu (compare Estonian kirst, Votic kirstu), of unknown further origin, but related to Latvian šķirsts (“chest, coffin”) and dialectal Russian ке́рста (kérsta); there is no consensus on the direction of borrowing. The word however cannot be older than Finnic due to the consonant cluster.
köken: Inherited from Proto-Slavic *bъdьňa, borrowed from Proto-Germanic *budin- from Medieval Latin butina (Vulgar Latin *budina) from Ancient Greek πυτίνη (putínē, “flask”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeHw- (“to swell, puff”). Cognate with Slovak debna, German Bütte. First attested in the 19th century.
köken: Borrowed from Polish kufer or Ukrainian куфер (kufer), from German Koffer, from Late Middle High German koffer, from Middle Dutch coffer, from Old French cofre, from Latin cophinus, from Ancient Greek κόφινος (kóphinos, “basket”).
köken: First attested in 1786. Back-formation from bőrönde, from bőr (“skin”) + -önde (a suffix created by the language reformers). The -e ending was interpreted as a possessive suffix or a diminutive suffix, so the word was shortened. Created during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries. For the suffix, compare bölcsőde.
