If I am not mistaken, 'caixa' is in PT and ES (languages) also a financial 
institution, usually a bank (& that word in turn comes from the bench, ' 
banco', the money handlers were doing their business on in the middle ages ... 
(sorry to make just a cameo appearance on this list, but I couldn't resist ;-) 
Cheers to all, p+7D!&H!

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.
