Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from 'cash' (from Italian 'cassa' meaning box or chest, ultimately from Latin 'capsa') and 'register' (from Medieval Latin 'registrum', meaning to record or list). Invented in the late 19th century by James Ritty to prevent employee theft and accurately record business transactions, the term combined the medium of exchange with the mechanical recording device.
