Etymology

Its Heian Kyoto accent pattern LF[1] implies this is the same as 終(しゅう)止(し)形(けい) (shūshikei, “conclusive form”) of the verb 勝(か)つ (katsu, “to win”), which has low tone L-.[2] Note the existence of Classical Japanese かつ (katsu, “to be bearable”), homophone of its classical potential form which might have the sense "capable of opposing". Possibly related to 片(かた) (kata, “one of a pair”).
