Etimologia (Anglès)
Inherited from Proto-Italic *katerwā, of uncertain origin, though Clayton (2024) suggests Proto-Indo-European *ḱátwr̥ (“hostility”). Perhaps related to cassis (“net”) and catēna (“chain”), from Proto-Indo-European *kat- (“to link or weave together; chain, net”). Also compare Albanian thes (“sack, bag”).
