What is Etymology of the Word "Cash" about?

Cash originally referred to a money box but came to mean money itself in the 18th century as its secondary definition became its primary meaning over time. The word "cash" meant "money box" originally but then also took on the additional sense of "money", and by the 1700s "cash" was solely defined as money rather than a container for money.
