Etymology
edit
From Proto-Italic *kazēō, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *ḱes- (“to cut”).

De Vaan rejects the etymology from *ḱes-, finding it too semantically difficult to reconcile the stative ending -ēre, 'to lack, be lacking', and a stative Indo-European 'to be cutting something'. He mentions a 2000 paper by George Dunkel linking the derived castīgō to Sanskrit शास्ति (śāsti, “to teach, correct”), but rejects this too as other words in the word family seem to stem from 'be lacking, pure'.
