Word History and Origins

Origin of cosher1

First recorded in 1860–65; perhaps conflation of cocker 3 with uncertain elements, though frequently connected to Hiberno-English cosher “to feast, live at the expense of kinsmen,” from Irish cóisir “feast, retinue” (also of uncertain origin but perhaps ultimately from French causerie “conversation, talk”; coze )
