Etymology of CHEATS
The word "cheats" originated from the Old French term "escheat", which was derived from the Late Latin word "ex-captiare" or "ex-captus". These terms meant "to seize" or "seized", referring to property or possessions reverted to the lord of the manor when a tenant died without heirs. Over time, the meaning of "escheat" expanded to encompass any action involving confiscation or defrauding. Eventually, "escheat" in Old French evolved to "cheite", leading to the English word "cheat" in the 16th century. In contemporary usage, "cheats" primarily refers to dishonest or fraudulent behaviors.
