cadascun

Catalan[edit]

From older cascun, from Old Occitan cascun, (cf. the form chascun), from Vulgar Latin *cascunum or *casquunum, a conflation of Latin quisque unum ("each one") and *catunum, from cata (<Ancient Greek κατά (katá)) unum. Or from a crossing of cada and Old Catalan quiscun. Compare Occitan cadun, chascun, French chacun, Italian ciascuno.

cadascun (feminine cadascuna, masculine plural cadascuns, feminine plural cadascunes)

The plural forms are used with pluralia tantum, which are grammatically plural but are still single objects.
