Etymology
From Classical Gaelic cion (“love, affection”), from the earlier sense “share, due portion” (see etymology 2 below). For the semantic development, compare English partiality as well as Middle Irish cuit (modern cuid), which could mean “partiality, affection” in addition to the primary meaning “part, portion, share”.
