I came across กาส in an old textbook, so I looked it up in a dictionary and found that it means coughing.

In rendering this text into modern language, the translator chose to replace กาส with the everyday term for a cough so that general readers could understand it more easily.

Although กาส refers to coughing, just like the word we use every day, it has Pali-Sanskrit roots and is not normally used in conversation.
