chose

Syllable Decomposition

chose

from the Latin causa ('cause, affair') and 'thing' in Late Latin, which has supplanted the classical res ('thing'); however, rem, the accusative of res, has given rise to rien, first in the sense of 'thing' in Old French, then 'nothing', due to its very frequent use in negative sentences.
