Etimoloxía (inglés)

From Ottoman Turkish كنت (kent, “village, town, city”), from older كند (kend), from Sogdian 𐼸𐼰𐼻𐼹 (kand, “city”). Compare Old Turkic [script needed] (kend, “city, settlement”). Possibly cognate with Northern Kurdish gund (“village”). Most likely not related to Finnish kenttä (“field”).
