Word origin

The word 'cash' originated in the mid-16th century and is derived from the Middle French word 'caisse', meaning 'money box'. It has been used to refer to physical money in the form of coins or banknotes issued by a government for centuries. The concept of cash has evolved over time, from early forms of currency to the modern coins and paper money we use today.
