Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term is a compound of 'cash' (derived from the Old French 'caisse' meaning 'box or chest for money') and 'machine' (derived from Latin 'machina' and Greek 'mekhane' meaning 'contrivance or device'). It emerged in late 20th-century British English to describe the newly introduced automated teller systems that allowed bank customers to dispense physical currency independently.
