Etymology of CAUSED UNDERSTAND

The phrase "caused understand" does not have a specific etymology as it is not commonly used as a standalone term or phrase. However, we can break it down and examine the etymology of its individual components.

1. Caused: From the verb "cause", which comes from the Old French word "causer" meaning "to cause, reason, or induce". It entered English in the 13th century and ultimately derived from the Latin word "causa", meaning "reason" or "cause".

2. Understand: From the Old English word "understandan", which is a compound of "under" (meaning "between" or "among") and "standan" (meaning "to stand"). Thus, "understand" initially meant "to stand among" or "to grasp mentally". It has remained relatively unchanged in its meaning throughout English history.
