Origin

Middle English: from Old French eschequier, from medieval Latin scaccarium 'chessboard', from scaccus (see check¹). The original sense was 'chessboard'. Current senses derive from the Norman department of state dealing with the royal revenues, named Exchequer from the chequered tablecloth on which accounts were kept by means of counters. The spelling was influenced by Latin ex- 'out' (see ex¹). Compare with chequer.

In around 1300 an exchequer was ‘a chessboard’. The word came into English from Old French eschequier, which was based on medieval Latin scaccus ‘check’—the origin of our word check. It took on its current, very different sense from the department of state that dealt with the revenues of the Norman kings of England. In those days they kept the accounts by placing counters on a chequered tablecloth, which was called the Exchequer.

Rhymes

Becker, checker, Cheka, chequer, Dekker, Flecker, mecca, Neckar, Necker, Quebecker, Rebecca, Rijeka, trekker, weka, wrecker
