Project Projects: Chance Caucus
"The origin of the word 'caucus' is debated, although it is generally agreed that it came into use in English in the United States. According to some sources, it comes from the Algonquin word for 'counsel,' 'cau´-cau-as´u', and was probably introduced into American political usage through the Democratic Party in New York known as Tammany Hall, which liked to use Native American terms. Other sources claim that it derived from Medieval Latin caucus, meaning 'drinking vessel', and link it to the Caucus Club of colonial Boston."
