Etymology
Casă comes from Latin casa, which meant a small hut or cottage, as opposed to the grander domus. The word survived in nearly every Romance language with its core meaning intact. Latin casa itself has no secure earlier root; its origin before Latin is disputed, so no reliable deeper root can be given.
