Etymologia (English)
In summary
From Middle French ceste, from Old French ceste, from Vulgar Latin *ecce ista, feminine of *ecce iste. The loss of internal /s/ triggered compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel. Due to the unstressed position of this pronoun, however, the length was soon lost again, which explains the spelling without a circumflex (though the form cête was occasionally used). Compare notre and le nôtre.
