Etymology
1. c.1384, "flow of rhythm in verse or music," from M.Fr.
cadence, O.It.
cadenza "conclusion of a movement in music," lit. "a falling," from V.L.
*cadentia, from L.
cadens prp. of
cadere "to fall" (see case (1)). In 16c., sometimes used literally for "an act of falling." The It. form
cadenza was borrowed 1836 as a musical term for "ornamental passage near the close of a song or solo."
2. Borrowed from Middle French cadence, from Old Italian cadenza (“conclusion of a phrase of music”), from Latin *cadentia (literally “a falling”), form of cadēns, the present participle of cadō (“to fall, to cease”). The Latin verb is inherited, via Proto-Italic *kadō, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱad-e- (“to fall”, thematic present). Doublet of cadenza and chance. See: Proto-Italic '
*kadō'.
