Adjective
كُفْت • (kuft) and كُفْتَة • (kufta)
Etymology 2
From Aramaic כּופְתָּא (kup̄tā, “(attested as) basket”) or another derivation of the root כ־פ־ת (k-p-t) related to twisting, binding, bending, tying over, cognate to Hebrew כּוֹפֶשׁ (kōp̄eš, “basket”) and its root כ־פ־שׁ (k-p-š), and to the Semitic-borrowed Egyptian kbs (/*kup̄ṯā/, “basket”), and probably cognate to the Arabic root ك ف ت (k-f-t) above which in place of expected *ك ف ث (k-f-ṯ) presumably got dissimilated in the manner of articulation from the second consonant and assimilated to the first for ease of pronunciation, and probably Ge'ez ከበሰ (käbäsä, “to wrap, to tie up or around”) and Ge'ez ከብሶ (käbso), ክብሶ (kəbso), ከበሳ (käbäsa, “headband”) and Amharic ከበሰ (käbbäsä, “to wrap around”) are also cognate, though Leslau likens them – formally possible – with Arabic كَبَسَ (kabasa, “to press”) in the sense of “to lay siege on, to surround” cognate to Aramaic כ־פ־שׁ (k-b-š, “to press; to to tread on; to inlay; to overlay”), but that one sense seems peripheral.
