CasSe

Casse is a term that may refer to several distinct concepts in different languages and contexts. It is not a single topic but a name used in linguistics, onomastics, and geography.

In French, casse is a common noun meaning damage or breakage; it can describe damaged goods or the act of breaking something. In legal or commercial contexts it may be used to refer to losses or spoilage resulting from breakage.

In Italian, casse is the plural of cassa, which means a cash register, a fund, or a chest. Consequently, casse can refer to multiple cash registers or funds, and in some contexts to containers or storage units.

Casse is also used as a surname and as a place name in some regions. As a surname, it appears in Romance-language communities and among diaspora populations. As a toponym, it designates one or more small localities in various countries, though the exact locations vary by country.

Etymology traces the term to Latin roots associated with containers or enclosures, carried into Romance languages through forms such as Italian cassa and related words in French and other tongues. Because its meaning depends on language and context, interpretation of casse is context-specific.
