chaque

See also: châque

French

From Middle French chasque, a backformation from chascun, from Old French chascun (whence modern chacun). The Old French derives from a conflation of Vulgar Latin *quiscunus (from quisque unus) with synonymous *catunus (from cata unus, from Ancient Greek κατά (katá), whence Catalan, Spanish, and Portuguese cada). The short vowel (and hence the lack of a circumflex) is due to the usually unstressed position (cf. notre vs. le nôtre).

  The very nature of the stem may be ligneous or herbaceous, depending on whether it persists through the winter, like tree stems, or is renewed each year.
