Etymology
1. Morphologically from *čukъ (“bang, clang; hammer, knocker”) + *-ati. Proposed further origin:
2. * Vasmer, Snoj: Onomatopoeic related to Lithuanian kaũkti (“to howl”), Latvian kàukt (“to yell, to howl”), possibly Sanskrit कौति (káuti, “to cry, to lament”), Ancient Greek κωκῡ́ω (kōkū́ō, “to shriek”). Ultimately may reflect Proto-Indo-European *(s)kew- (“to growl, to wail”). Compare also Proto-Slavic *čavьka (“jackdaw”), Proto-Slavic *skovykъ ⇒ Slovene: skovȋk (“pygmy owl”), Proto-Slavic *čuxalъ ⇒ Bulgarian: чу́хал (čúhal, “scops owl”).
3. * Possibly an expressive k-extension of *kuti (“to hew”) + *-kati, in particular for the secondary sense “to hammer, to hew”. See: Sanskrit '
कौति'.
