Definition choice

Etymology

From Middle English chois, from Old French chois (“choice”), from choisir (“to choose, perceive”), possibly via assumed Vulgar Latin *caus?re (“to choose”), from Gothic ??????? (kausjan, “to make a choice, taste, test, choose”), from Proto-Germanic *kauzijan?, from *keusan? (“to choose”), from Proto-Indo-European *?ews- (“to choose”). Akin to Old High German kiosan (“to choose”), Old English ??osan (“to choose”), Old Norse kjósa (“to choose”). More at choose.

The adjectival meaning of "especially good, preferred, select" was likely influenced by Middle English chyse, chys, chis (“choice, excellent”), from Old English ??s, *??es (“choice; dainty; nice”), related to Old English ??osan (“to choose”).
