The phrase "to check balance" combines "check," from the Old French 'eschequier,' meaning to verify or inspect, and "balance," derived from the Latin 'bilanx,' meaning 'having two scales,' originally referring to a weighing scale. Over time, "balance" came to mean the amount of money in an account, while "check" evolved to mean confirming or verifying that amount.
