Etymology 2 edit
Inherited from Old French chasier, casier (“wicker basket in which cheese was left to dry”), formed as a masculine derivative of chasiere, casiere, itself from an abbreviation of a syntagma involving Latin forma (“form”), cratis (“wickerwork”), cista (“trunk, chest, casket”), or sporta (“basket, hamper”) and Late Latin cāseāria, feminine of cāseārius (“relating to cheese”), from cāseus (“cheese”). Alternatively but less likely directly from cāseārius, although this may apply to the old sense of one who makes cheese.
