Word origin
The word 'checker' originated in the late 14th century from the Middle English 'chekere,' which came from the Old French 'eschequier,' meaning 'a chessboard.' The term evolved to denote both the game of chess and the pattern of squares on a board. Over time, 'checker' expanded its meanings to include various forms of examination, verification, and financial instruments.
