First attested in the Yongbi eocheonga (龍飛御天歌 / 용비어천가), 1447 as Middle Korean 잣 (cas), from Old Korean 城叱 (*cas) as in one of the Hyangga from Silla period, Hyesongga (彗星歌 / 혜성가) (c. 579-633) recorded in the Samguk Yusa, 1280s (compare Old Japanese さし (sasi), a loan word for Korean toponyms recorded in the Nihon Shoki, 720). Considered to be word root of 재 (jae, “mountain pass”).[2]

Possibly cognate with Ainu チャシ (chasi, “fence; enclosure; castle; fortress”).[3]
