Etymology
In summary
From Old Occitan cascavel, from Vulgar Latin cascābellus (“small bell”), diminutive of cascābus, from Latin cāccabus. Influenced by Latin quassicāre, based on Latin quassāre (“to shake repeatedly, to quake”), because when the chili is being prepared, the seeds make a rattling noise when the pepper is dried.
