Etymology

From rocháda, from German Rochade (“castling”), from Middle High German roch (“rook”), from Persian رخ (rox, “war elephant”). The original Czech expression rocháda mistakenly acquired French pronunciation with the letter ⟨ch⟩ pronounced as /ʃ/ (especially among non-professional chess players), which later (in the 1950s) lead also to the change of spelling to the letter ⟨š⟩ (rošáda).
