Council/Counsel/Caucus/Consensus

[edit]

The origin of the word caucus is debated, but it is generally agreed that it came into use in English in the United States. According to some sources, it comes from the Algonquian word for "counsel", 'cau´-cau-as´u', and was probably introduced into American politics through the Democratic Party in New York known as Tammany Hall, which liked to use Native American terms. Other sources claim that it derived from Medieval Latin caucus, meaning "drinking vessel", and link it to the Caucus Club of colonial Boston. It may also be derived from the Arabic word qawqaʿah, "قوقعه",[citation needed] which means shell or enclosed area.
