Etymology of CHASEGUN

The word "chasegun" is a combination of two separate words, "chase" and "gun".

The word "chase" originated from the Middle English word "chacen", which can be traced back to the Old French word "chacier" meaning "to hunt, chase". It further derives from the Late Latin word "captiare" or "captare" meaning "to pursue, catch". Eventually, "chase" came to mean the act of pursuing or engaging in a hunt or pursuit.

On the other hand, the word "gun" can be traced back to the Old Norse word "gunnr" or "gunnr" which meant "battle". Over time, it evolved into Middle English as "gonne" indicating a large weapon or military machine. From there, it further transformed into "gun", referring to any portable firearm.
