Etymology

The word 'cachet' originates from the French term 'cachet', which means 'a seal' or 'a mark of approval'. It was derived from the Old French 'cachat', meaning 'hidden'. The term has evolved in English to denote a sense of status or prestige as well as its original meaning related to a physical seal. In the late 17th century, it began to be used more broadly to refer to the qualities that convey esteem or mark excellence in both products and people. The connotation of cachet as a symbol of luxury and high standing has made it popular in marketing and branding, where it denotes exclusivity and high quality.
