Etymology
Attested since the 13th century. Inherited from Latin cista, from Ancient Greek κίστη (kístē), but semantically closer to Proto-Celtic *kist-: Middle Irish cess (“basket, causeway of wickerwork, beehive”), Old Welsh cest (“basket”). See: Latin Nouns '
cista', Latin Nouns '
cista', Ancient Greek Nouns '
κίστη'.
