Etymology: Cheque is a differentiated spelling of check , which is also in use, especially in U.S. In meaning it belongs to check n.¹ 13. Compare also check v.¹ 16. From being the name of the counterfoil of an Exchequer or other bill, the purpose of which was to check forgery or alteration, the name appears to have been applied to any bill, note, or draft, having a counterfoil, and thus to its present sense, where a counterfoil (though usual) is not even necessary.
