Nah, I think you should google it yourself. That will teach you
respect for manual labor and then you don't go chasing nazis as long
as it lasts.

I have found it in a language you will like
Ernout-Meillet
'cada:uer, -ris n.: cadavre. Bien que le terme soit ancien et usuel,
il semble pourtant évité (cf. Cic. Pis. 9,19,33,82) comme trop brutal
par certains auteurs qui lui préfèrent corpus (= gr. so:ma), cf.
Hier., in Matth.34,28, p.197, corpus, id est pto:ma, quod
significantius latine dicitur cadauer ab eo quod per mortem cadat. En
fait il n'est représenté dans les langues romanes que par des formes
de caractère savant, cf. M.L.1450. En latin même les adj. dérivés
cada:ueri:nus, cada:uero:sus sont rares.
Rattaché justement par les anciens à cado:, cf. pípto: et pto:ma.
Mais la terminaison est obscure; v. papa:uer.'

No, I can't explain etc to you. You will have to find out etc
yourself. That is what life is about. And when you have sorted out
etc., then you can go on to discuss linguistics.
