Etymology

From Spanish casa (house), from Latin casa (cottage), with the plural formed by adding -s according to Spanish grammar rules.

Kelly Says

When you see 'casas grandes' or just 'casas' on real estate listings in the American Southwest, you're seeing Spanish words that never got translated because the houses themselves are part of Spanish-American heritage and culture.
