different between boat vs casco

English

Etymology

From Middle English bot, boot, boet, boyt (“boat”), from Old English b?t (“boat”), from Proto-Germanic *baitaz, *bait? (“boat, small ship”), from Proto-Indo-European *b?eyd- (“to break, split”). Cognate with Old Norse beit (“boat”), Middle Dutch beitel (“little boat”).

Old Norse bátr (whence Icelandic bátur, Norwegian båt, Danish båd), Dutch boot, German Boot, Occitan batèl and French bateau are all ultimately borrowings from the Old English word.
