Traditionally derived from a Proto-Indo-European *kéysero- (“(combed) hair”), and compared with Sanskrit केसर (késara, “hair”), Lithuanian kai̇̃šti (“to plane, polish”).
De Vaan mentions the connections above, and posits a derivation from an original form *caesar, which may be related to the name Caesar, but notes the uncertainty of further origins.
