Origin

Early 17th century (in sense 2): from French, from Gascon dialect capdet, a diminutive based on Latin caput 'head'. The notion ‘little head’ or ‘inferior head’ gave rise to that of 'younger, junior'.

  • cad from late 18th century:

    This is a dated term to describe a man who behaves dishonourably towards a woman, and appears to have arisen at the universities as a colloquial insult for a ‘man of low, vulgar manners’. It may have originated at Oxford in a contemptuous application to townsmen in the ‘town-and-gown’ rivalry. Cad, however, once referred to any passenger picked up by the driver of a horse-drawn coach for his personal profit. It is an abbreviation of Scottish caddie or its more standard form cadet. This term for a younger son comes from French Gascon dialect capdet, ‘little head’ hence ‘junior’ from Latin caput ‘head’.
