Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from a South Slavic language, compare Old Church Slavonic часъ (časŭ, time, moment, hour), Serbo-Croatian čas (time, moment, hour) and Bulgarian час (čas, hour, period). Ultimately from Proto-Slavic *časъ (time).

The auslaut -t derives from the old locative or prepositional accusative case.[1][2][3]
