Etymologie (Engels)

Overgenomen van Middelengels: cotsete

Overgenomen van Oudengels: cotsǣta

Verwant aan Italiaans: casiccio

In summary

Perhaps from Middle English cotsete, from Old English cotsǣta (“cottager”), from cot (“cottage”) (Modern English cot (“cottage”) (archaic)) + -sǣta (“-sitter”); compare coscet. Compare German Hauslamm (literally “house lamb”), Italian casiccio.
