From Old Japanese. Attested in a gloss of the Nihon Shoki (720) and Man'yōshū (759) in the ideographic spelling 笠.^[1] In turn, from reconstructed Proto-Japonic *kasa (“rain hat”). Possibly related to 重なる (kasanaru, “to overlap, to be layered”, intransitive), 重ねる (kasaneru, “to overlap, to layer”, transitive),^[1].

The term originally refers to a bundle of reeds or sedges used as a rain hat.^[1] Following the spread of folding umbrellas in the 900s after their introduction from Baekje or China, the sense gradually shifted to also mean "umbrella".
