Etimologia (Inglês)

In summary

From Middle Dutch cade, later also caey, from a Celtic word for "field, hedge," from Proto-Celtic *kagyom (“enclosure”). The word may have been borrowed through Old French cai. A hypercorrection of kaai, as the original word was thought to have contained -d-, which tends to be replaced by -j- in many words. Similar hypercorrection can be seen in wijden, beeldhouder.
