Etymology
From the Latin verb, as a euphemism for dying, "the fallen one". This etymology is found as early as ca. 200 in the writings of Tertullian, who associated cadaver to cadendo:

A folk etymology derives cadaver syllabically from the Latin expression caro data vermibus (flesh given to worms). This etymology, more popular in Romance countries, can be traced back as early as the Schoolmen of the Middle Ages.
