Particularly: “Kroonen notes a problem where the stem of cassis is cassid-. (source?)”

Of unclear origin.

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *kadʰnú-, from Proto-Indo-European *kadʰ- (“to guard, cover, protect, care for”), and compared with Latin cassis (“helmet”).

However, Kroonen notes that the term looks like a derivative from the accusative plural, *hattuns, of an unattested n-stem noun *haþō, and reconstructs the Proto-Indo-European form as *kHt-nú- instead. He deduces a possible relation to Old High German hadara (“patch, goat skin”) and Old Norse haðna (“young goat”), and links these terms to Proto-Italic *katelos (“young animal”); see there for more.
