Definition causeway

Etymology

From Middle English cauceweye, with the first element from Anglo-Norman, Old Northern French caucee or caucie, cauchie (�route, highway�), from Vulgar Latin *calci?ta (compare modern French chauss�e from Old French chaucie, itself from the same source), either from Latin calx, calcis ("limestone"), or alternatively from Latin calci?re (�to stamp with the heels, tread�), from calx (�heel�). The second element corresponds to English way.
