Etymology

Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic падежь (padežĭ), from Proto-Slavic *padežь. Doublet of падёж (padjóž), the inherited East Slavic form.

The sense of “grammatical case” is a calque of Latin cāsus, which is also derived from the verb for falling, cadō (and is itself a calque from Ancient Greek πτῶσις (ptôsis)). Compare Bulgarian паде́ж (padéž).
