In summary

Inherited from Middle High German kūz, kūze, from Old High German *kūz, from Proto-West Germanic *kūt, from Proto-Germanic *kūts (“bird of prey”), from Proto-Indo-European *gū- (“to cry, screech”). Cognate with Old English cȳta (“kite, bittern”). See kite. For the sense "crank, old codger" compare English coot (“a foolish or eccentric old person”), which also refers to the bird known as the coot.
