causewayn.

Brit.

/ˈkɔːzweɪ/, U.S.

/ˈkɔzˌweɪ/,

/ˈkɑzˌweɪ/

Forms: Middle English cawce wey, cawcy wey, 1500s–1700s causey-way; 1500s– cause-way, causeway; also 1500s–1600s causway, 1600s cawseway, cawsway, cowsway, ( caused-, cawsedway), casseway, caseway, Scottish caulsway.

Etymology: In 15th cent. caucé-wey , caucy-wey , < caucé , caucy causey n. + way n.¹ and int.¹ The compound has to a great extent taken the place of the simple causey, which, where it survives in local use, is apt to be treated as a corruption of this. On the other hand, etymologists have erroneously guessed that causeway was merely a corruption of causey.

1. A road formed on a ‘causey’ or mound; a raised road across a low or wet place, or piece of water; formerly also applied to a mole or landing-pier running into the sea or a river; = causey n. 2. the Giant's Causeway (or Causey): a natural formation in county Antrim, Ireland, consisting of a collection of basaltic columns extending like a mole or pier into the sea.
