Thread:User talk:CodeCat/chassis

Chassis derives directly from greek capsis/καψίς meaning 'small case'. (capsa/κάψα -> case, capsis/καψίς -> small case). If it was a Latin word, the ending for 'small' in female nouns would be '-ella' and not '-is' as it is characteristic for greek. In a possible latin origin we would had: capsa (case) -> capsella (small case) and not capsis and thus chassis in french. Your friend Equinox that requested the locking of the term clearly confuses the greek capsa (diminutive "capsis" = litle capsa) that means box or case with cataposis (gulping). It's important that you restore the corrected version. Make a search of your own if you wish.
