Etymology 1

Inherited from Old Polish koszara, from a Romance language (cf. Romanian coșar / coșara / cașare), from Old Church Slavonic кошара (košara), from Proto-Slavic *košàra. Compare Czech košár and Ukrainian коша́ра (košára).

The meaning of “barracks” was transferred from kasarnia as a result of contamination due to phonetic and semantic similarities (“a closed, fenced area; a building where someone lives”).[1]
