Etymologie

Inherited from Middle French casserolle. By surface analysis, casse (“container, recipient”) + -erole (diminutive suffix), a form of -ole lengthened with -er-. The first part is derived from Medieval Latin cattia (“pan”) influenced by Provençal caça. Similar, related formations include cassole (without the -er-) and casseron (using the diminutive suffix -eron, from -on).
