Etymology
Inherited from Middle French chesne, from Old French chesne, chaisne, chasne, from Vulgar Latin *cassanus (attested in Medieval Latin as casnus), probably from Gaulish kassanos. Some Old French forms possibly influenced by fraisne, fresne (cf. modern frêne). Compare Occitan casse, Franco-Provençal châno. See also Spanish quejigo, Galician caxigo, Aragonese caixico. See: Spanish Nouns '
quejigo', Galician Nouns '
caxigo'.
