Etymology
From, from (whence also 🇨🇬, q.v.) with an extra suffix -to. The semantic evolution was probably: “loose, slack, tired” (“allowed to go down”) > “slow” > “light, easy” (the basic meaning in 17th-century texts) > “easy to purchase” > “cheap” (by the mid-18th century). The earlier meaning of “light, easy” can still be seen in compounds like and in some uses of the adverbial form. Cognates include 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.
