chary [chair-ee]

adjective:
1 cautious or careful; wary
2 shy; timid

Examples:

Instead, 'West Side Story' languished when it was first released, its core audience of older filmgoers still chary of venturing into theaters. (Ann Hornaday, Awards season this year is already a nothingburger. And that's okay., The Washington Post, January 2022)

With a writer so chary of detail, the reader rushes to fill in. (Caleb Crain, Sally Rooney Addresses Her Critics, The Atlantic, September 2021)

I should have been chary of discussing my guardian too freely even with her; but I should have gone on with the subject so far as to describe the dinner in Gerrard-street, if we had not then come into a sudden glare of gas. (Charles Dickens, Great Expectations)

Prince Vasili knew this, and having once realized that if he asked on behalf of all who begged of him, he would soon be unable to ask for himself, he became chary of using his influence. (Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace)

Origin:

Middle English chari 'actively concerned, diligent; sorrowful, sad,' late 12c, earlier cearig (in early 12c homilies Martha sister of Lazarus is bisig and cearig), from Old English cearig 'sorrowful, full of care,' the adjective from care, qv.

The sense shifted 16c from 'disposed to cherish with care' to 'sparing, not lavish, frugal' (by 1560s, often with of). Compare the sense evolution of careful. Cognates include Old Saxon carag, Old High German charag 'full of sorrow, trouble, or care.' (Online Etymological Dictionary)

How did chary, which began as the opposite of cheery, become a synonym of wary? Don't worry, there's no need to be chary - the answer is not dreary. Chary's Middle English predecessor, charri, meant 'sorrowful,' a sense that harks back to the Old English word cearig, meaning 'troubled, troublesome, taking care,' which ultimately comes from an assumed-but-unattested Germanic word, karō, meaning 'sorrow' or 'worry,' that is also an ancestor of the word care. It's perhaps unsurprising then, that chary was once used to mean 'dear' or 'cherished.' Both sorrow and affection have largely faded from chary, and today the word is most often used as a synonym of careful. (Merriam Webster)

kitty-corner, catty-corner [kit-ee-kawr-ner, kat-ee-kawr-ner ]

adverb or adjective:
in a diagonal position from, especially outward from the corner of a square.

Examples:

The grocery store is kitty corner from the coffee shop. Using my little makeshift diagram below, the blue cat is kitty corner from the orange tabby (and vice versa). (Michael Kwan, Idiomatica: Why Kitty Corner?, beyond the rhetoric, August 2018)

(click to enlarge)
Origin:

'diagonally opposite,' 1838, earlier cater-cornered (1835, American English), from now-obsolete cater 'to set, cut, or move diagonally' (1570s), from French catre 'four,' from Latin quattuor (from PIE root kwetwer- 'four'). (Online Etymology Dictionary)

Though peaked ears and spanned whiskers may be suggested by every variant, whether what is diagonal or oblique to or from something else is considered kitty-corner (or kitty-cornered), catty-corner (or catty-cornered), or catercorner (or catercornered), these seemingly feline-inspired directional words have nothing to do with cats. Instead they are yet more evidence of the English language's canoodling with French.

In the French of the 14th-16th centuries, quatre, the word for 'four,' could also be spelled catre. English speakers said 'ooh, that's handy' and snapped the term right up, but very sensibly (we think) spelled it cater. They already had a perfectly good word for 'four,' of course (it being four), but they liked that cater word for playing games and used it to refer to the four of cards or dice.

The four spots on dice, or four symbols on cards, can be seen as making an X, and it's suspected that this is how cater came to develop extended senses of 'diagonal' or 'diagonally.' English then made cater into a verb meaning 'to place, move, or cut (across) diagonally,' as in 'cater the pieces on the board,' but that never grew beyond some dialectal use. Also largely destined to flourish in dialects were a number of compound words that used cater to mean 'diagonal' or 'askew,' such as catabias and catawampus. Catercornered (and later catercorner) caught on more broadly. Eventually the dice and cards were forgotten and that first syllable settled very cat-like into a sunny spot in the lexicon and spread itself out: catty-corner and kitty-corner (and their -ed variants) were the inevitable outcome. (Merriam-Webster)
