Additional Information

Etymology

1. 1297, from O.Fr. chacier "to catch, seize," from V.L. *captiare (see catch). Meaning of "run after" developed c.1350. Chaser "water or mild beverage taken after a strong drink" is Amer.Eng. slang, first recorded 1897. Fr. chasse (from chasser "to chase") was a drink of liquor taken (or said to be taken) to kill the aftertaste of coffee or tobacco.
2. From Middle English chacen, from Anglo-Norman chacer, Old French chacier, from Vulgar Latin *captiāre, from Latin captāre, frequentative of capere. Compare French chasser (“to hunt”, “to chase”), Spanish cazar (“to hunt”), Portuguese caçar (“to hunt”)
3. , see Norwegian skysse (“to hunt”).
4. Doublet of catch and related to capture. Displaced native Old English ōht, ēhtnes, and wāþ. Broadly overtook Old English huntaþ. See: Anglo-Norman 'chacer', Old French 'chacier', Latin 'captō', French 'chasser', Spanish 'cazar', Portuguese 'caçar'.
