Nguồn gốc từ

The noun is probably derived from the title of The Ballad of Chevy Chase, first published in The Complaynt of Scotland (1549); the ballad is about a hunt taking place on a chase (large country estate where game#Noun) in the Cheviot Hills between [[Northumberland and the Scottish Borders, and is thought to allude to the Battle of Otterburn in 1388.
