Etymology

1. From Proto-Germanic *kutą, *kutan (“shed”), probably of non-Indo-European origin, but possibly borrowed from Uralic; compare Finnish kota (“hut, house”) and Hungarian ház (“house”), both from Proto-Finno-Ugric/Proto-Uralic *kota.
2. However, compare Dutch and English hut, as well as Old Norse kot, Middle High German kūz (“execution pit”)), Scytho-Sarmatian *kuta, Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬙𐬀 (kata, “chamber”). See: Finnish Nouns 'kota', Hungarian Nouns 'ház', English Nouns 'hut', Old Norse Nouns 'kot'.
