Where this word comes from

Used by Plautus to describe the material a box or chest is made of, which suggests derivation from caudex (“tree trunk, block of wood”), but the form suggests derivation from cauda (“tail”) + -eus (“-en, -y”). Compare also cōdēta, used to refer to a place where some type of plant grew. All of these words in caud-/cōd- are probably derived from a common root which can be reconstructed as Proto-Indo-European *keh₂u-d- (“cleaved, separate”), from *keh₂w-.
