Word origin
The word 'casual' originated from the Late Latin word 'casualis', meaning 'by chance'. It entered the English language in the mid-14th century with the sense of 'subject to or produced by chance'. Over time, the meaning evolved to include the sense of 'informal' or 'relaxed', reflecting a more laid-back and easy-going approach to various aspects of life.
