Origin

Middle English: from Old French eschete, based on Latin excidere 'fall away', from ex- 'out of, from' + cadere 'to fall'.

cheat from Late Middle English:
This started out as a shortening of escheat, a legal term for the reverting of property to the state when the owner dies without heirs. As an extension of this, the word came to mean ‘to confiscate’, and then ‘to deprive someone of something unfairly’. Finally, the senses ‘to practise deception’ and ‘to try to get an advantage by breaking the rules’ came to the fore.
