An archaic or variant spelling of cash, referring to money or coins used in transactions.
From Portuguese caixa or Dutch kas, borrowed into English in the 16th century. The spelling 'casshe' represents an obsolete variant of the modern 'cash.'
This spelling shows how English was still figuring out how to write borrowed words from European languages—printers in the 1500s-1600s would spell the same word different ways on different pages!
