Cache
Cash and Cache
Cache and cash are homophones
(words that are pronounced alikebut have different meanings, origins, or spelling) whose likeness in sound may lead to perplexity.
Cache primarily refers to a thing that is hidden or stored somewhere,
or to the place where it is hidden.
It has recently taken on another common meaning,
“short-term computer memory where information is stored for easy retrieval.”
Cash, on the other hand, is most often used in the sense “ready money.”
If you find yourself confused by these words,
remember that you can store cash in a cache,
but you can't do the reverse.
Be mindful, too, that if you run out of cash you won't be able to buy something, but if you're short on cache, your computer won’t work.

History and Etymology for cache
Noun
borrowed from North American French, from French, "hiding place,"
noun derivative of cacher "to hide, conceal,"
going back to Old French cachier, quaichier "to put away, lock up, cover, remove from view, conceal"
(also Middle French cacher "to press, crush"), going back to Vulgar Latin *coācticāre "to press, constrict," from Latin coāctāre "to compel" (frequentative of cōgere "to drive together, collect, compress, compel") + -icāre, verb formative — more at COGENT
NOTE: The etymological sense "to compress, constrict"
is not attested for the Old French verb, though it likely existed
and is apparent in the prefixed form escachier "to crush and flatten, break by pressing or falling on."
From the sense "compress" presumably developed the senses
"lock up, cover, put away,"
and hence "remove from view, conceal," common from the sixteenth century.
The sense "to press, crush" is marginally evident in Middle French in areas in contact with Occitan, though it penetrated widely enough to form the basis for the derivative cachet "seal" (see CACHET).

Trending: ‘cache’
Lookups spiked 900% on January 18, 2019
Why are people looking up cache?
Cache peeked out from its hiding place
and discovered that it was among our top lookups on January 18th, 2019. The word spiked after it appeared in an article in BuzzFeed News that alleged President Trump had directed his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress.
The special counsel’s office learned about Trump’s directive for Cohen to lie to Congress through interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents.

What does cache mean?
We define cache as
“a hiding place especially for concealing and preserving provisions or implements,”
“a secure place of storage,”
and “something hidden or stored in a cache.”
The word has additional applicability outside of
the realm of political scandal,
referring to
“a computer memory with very short access time
used for storage of frequently or recently used instructions or data.”
What is notable about this use of cache?
Cache, due to its terminal e and enchanting French origins,
often leaves people flummoxed as to how to pronounce it.
Although it shares a root with cachet (“prestige”),
both words coming from a French word meaning “to hide” (cacher),
these words are not pronounced in the same manner.
Cache rhymes with sash,
and cachet with sashay.
