Dear John,
You're not wrong. I just googled it. The English word cash does indeed come
from the Latin root for box. There we go, learn something new everyday.
Warm wishes,Selma

Interesting. I wonder if the English word “cash” comes from the Portuguese
“caixa”. Cândido de Figueiredo used to criticize the Portuguese for their
“anglicismos” and “galicismos”. If “cash” was derived from “caixa”, it would be
an example of “Lusitanismo” of the British and the Americans.
