Etymology 1

Inherited from Old East Slavic каса́тисѧ (kasátisę), reinforced by Old Church Slavonic касати сѧ (kasati sę), from Proto-Slavic *kasati (sę), from *kosti (whence *kosnǫti (sę)), from Proto-Balto-Slavic *kastei, from Proto-Indo-European *kos-yé-ti, from *kos-, from *kes-.[1] By surface analysis, каса́ти (kasáti) +‎ -сѧ (-sja). Belarusian descendants possibly borrowed from Russian каса́ться (kasátʹsja).[2][3]
