Etymology

1. Borrowed from German Low German [Term?]. Without doubt related, either originally or secondarily, to Dutch kabouter(man). Further etymology unsettled. Several roots seem to have influenced the word phonetically and semantically, it being difficult to determine the oldest form. Assumed influences include:
2. * Middle Dutch cobbout (“goblin”), cognate of German Kobold.
3. * Low German klatern, klattern, cognate of German klettern (“to climb”). Compare the attested Low German klâtermænneken n.
4. * The verbs kalfatern (“to caulk”) and klabastern (“to knock, to rumble”) (compare Low German klabastern). See: Dutch Nouns 'kabouter', German Nouns 'Kobold'.
