Etimología

Of unknown origin. Possibly borrowed from the dialectal German Kietze (“carrying basket”), from Proto-Germanic *kitjō-. The German word has also appeared as Kötze, from Middle High German *kœzze, from Proto-Germanic *kut-, which would be related to the root of kot (“ramshackle house”), itself of non-Indo-European origin.
