Etymology
1. On account of the acute, probably from Pre-Slavic *koid-titi, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)koyd- (“to split; to filter”), related to Proto-Slavic *cěditi (“to strain”).
2. According to Trubachev, o-vocalism of Proto-Slavic *čistiti (“to clean”). Alternatively, per J. Zubaty (1982), from an unattested *cěstъ (“clear, pure”) + *-iti, cognate with Lithuanian skaistùs (“bright”) (dial. skáistas (“bright”)), Latvian skaĩsts (“beautiful”), from Proto-Balto-Slavic *(s)káiˀstas. Further related to Latvian skaidrs (“clear”). See: Proto-Slavic '
*cěditi', Proto-Slavic '
*čistiti'.
