Etymologie (Englisch)

In summary

From Low German Kote, from Middle Low German kote, from Proto-Germanic *kutan, *kuta- (“shed”), whence also Dutch kot, English cot, cottage. The a-spelling reflects the merger of ā and ō in some dialects of modern Low German; it was possibly standardised in order to avoid the similarity with Kot (“excrement”). 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.
