Etymology

1. Of unclear origin. One theory derives the word from κουτσούπι (koutsoúpi, “tree trunk”) + -ιά (-iá) (as the Judas tree's flowers tend to blossom very close to its trunk), the former of apparently disputed origin:
2. * From Byzantine Greek κουζοῦπες (kouzoûpes), perhaps borrowed from Arabic [Term?].
3. * Related to κούτσουρο (koútsouro, “tree trunk, heavy object”), itself from Byzantine Greek κούτσουρον (koútsouron), neuter of κούτσουρος (koútsouros), of uncertain origin:
4. ** From κουτσός (koutsós, “crippled, broken”) + ουρά (ourá, “tail”).
5. ** From an unattested *κόψουρον (*kópsouron, “with a cut tail”), from the past stem *κοψ- (*kops-) of κόπτω (kóptō, “to cut, strike”) + ουρά (ourá, “tail”).
