Origin of cheddar
From Cheddar cheese. The slang use meaning "money, currency" may be derived from association with cheese (“wealth”), probably from Persian چیز (čiz, “thing”).
From Middle English [Term?], from Old English Ceodre, likely from the word ceodor (“cavity, pouch; ravine”), as there is a gorge near the town.
