Etymology
1. Uncertain; either:
2. * from Proto-Germanic *kaupōną (“to buy”), from *kaupô (“inkkeeper; merchant”), from Latin caupō (“tradesman”), thus a cognate of Gothic 𐌺𐌰𐌿𐍀𐍉𐌽 (kaupōn, “barter”); or
3. * of native origin, related to Gothic 𐌺𐌰𐌿𐍀𐌰𐍄𐌾𐌰𐌽 (kaupatjan, “strike; cuff”), which is morphologically compatible with kaupa.
4. Senses in other languages derived by relating striking (of hands) to transaction, as with strike a bargain, slá kaup.
5. Cognate with English cheap, German kaufen. See: Proto-Germanic '
*kaupōną', Latin '
caupō', English '
cheap', German, old spelling '
kaufen'.
