Etymology

From căsător (husband), (with an unattested older meaning of "member of a household") derived either from casă (house) or from a hypothetical verb *căsa (with the suffix -ător).

Thus the verb is a derivative of the original sense; "to become a member of a household", later becoming synonymous to "to marry".

Compare Spanish casar (to marry), Italian accasare (to marry).
