Etymologie

From Old Galician-Portuguese cova (13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria). Either from an archaic Latin *covus, Classical cavus (or variant of a Late Latin cava, from cavum), or from Vulgar Latin covus (“hollow of the hand”), or from a substrate; ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱówHwos (“cavity”). Cognate with Portuguese cova and Spanish cueva.
