Этимология

Inherited from Middle French choisir, from Old French choisir, coisir (“to differentiate, see distinctly”), from Frankish *kauʀijan (“to choose”) or Gothic 𐌺𐌰𐌿𐍃𐌾𐌰𐌽 (kausjan), both from Proto-Germanic *kauzijaną, from Proto-Germanic *keusaną (“to choose, taste”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵews- (“to choose, taste”).
Cognate with Franco-Provençal chouêsir (“to choose”), Germanic cognates include Old Frisian kēra (“to elect”). Related also to Gothic 𐌺𐌹𐌿𐍃𐌰𐌽 (kiusan, “to choose, examine”), Old High German kiosan (“to choose”), Old English ċēosan (“to choose”), Old Norse kjósa (“to choose”). More at choose.
