chose
Syllable Decomposition
chosefrom Latin causa 'cause, affair' and 'thing' in Late Latin, which supplanted the classical res ('thing'); however, rem, the accusative of res, gave rise to rien, initially meaning 'thing' in Old French, then 'nothing', due to its frequent use in negative sentences.
