Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle French: castor

Geërf van Old French: castor

In summary

Inherited from Middle French castor, from Old French castor, borrowed from Latin castor, itself from Ancient Greek κάστωρ (kástōr). Though borrowed into French early on, the word remained a more learned term at first, while bièvre was the popular synonym.
