Dutch[edit]
Etymology[edit]
First attested as Caustert in 1619. Compound of laag (“low, lower”) and kalverstaart (“calf's tail”). The toponym is either a perjorative designation for a piece of land with an irregular shape or refers to a former inn. The element laag was added at a later date to distinguish the settlement from Hoog-Caestert.
See also Limburgish Liekaasjtert.
