Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Uncertain. Dersken and Vasmer point a similarity with Latin quālum (hamper) and its diminutive quasillum, however, both sources qualify it as dubious. If correct, then the Slavic term is likely a back-formation from Proto-Slavic *košelъ[1] < Proto-Indo-European *kʷes- + *-slo-.

Another alternative is from *kаt- (to chain) + *-s- (derivative aorist marker) or (less likely) *kadʰ- (to cover) + *-s-. Neither of these roots is well-established, though. If correct, this would make *košь and its derivatives cognates with Proto-Slavic *kotьcь, Proto-Slavic *kotьlъ and probably Proto-Slavic *kǫťa. Plausible cognates outside of Slavic include Latin casa (hut),[2] Latin cassis (helmet), Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬙𐬀 (kata, chamber), Middle Persian kwšk' (kōšk, pavilion, kiosk), and Proto-Germanic *hattuz (hat).

The meaning of the East Slavic term may have been affected by Old Turkic köç- (migration)Kazakh көш (köş, military camp).
