Etymology

1. 19th century, from Low German Kaat, Kate, from Middle Low German kāte, a late spelling of kōte, from Old Saxon *kota, from Proto-West Germanic *kotā, from Proto-Germanic *kutǭ ~ *kutą (“stall, tent”), whence also Dutch kot, English cot, cottage.
2. The a-spelling reflects the merger of â, ā, ō into /ɔː/ in most Low German dialects; Standard German /aː/ is analogous. The spelling Kote may have been disfavoured in part because of its resemblence to unrelated Kot (“dirt, excrement”).
3. The word may be of non-Indo-European origin and is perhaps derived from Proto-Uralic *kota; compare Finnish kota (“hut, house”) and Hungarian ház (“house”). On the other hand, compare Old High German hutta, whence German Hütte, Dutch hut, English hut. See: Dutch Nouns 'kot', English Nouns 'cot', Finnish Nouns 'kota', Hungarian Nouns 'ház'.
