Etymology

Cassé as a noun originates from the past participle of the Old French verb *casser* (“to break”), which in turn comes from Latin *cascāre* meaning “to smash or break.” In Middle French the participle was nominalized, referring to a broken or shattered object—most often a piece of glass or a discarded bottle. In modern slang it keeps this sense, describing something that has been broken and thrown away, hence “in the trash.”
