from the Latin
caseus
, cheese (sometimes
caseum
).
also used in comedy as a term of endearment, e.g Plautus
dulciculus caseus
"sweet little cheese".

Well done. Proper latiny bits, too! (I'll assume they're proper; you'd know better than I! :) )
The latin root is also the source of the name
casein
, the principal structural protein in milk and cheese.

Sometimes I daydream that I drop out of school, buy a flock of sheep, and become a cheesemaker. Then I remember rennet, and am glad at least that books are no longer bound with random animal bits.

It's also the source of the Spanish word "queso", isn't it?
