Etymology

Inherited from Old Spanish cuyo, from Latin cuius, genitive of quī (“who, which”, interrogative and relative pronoun). Secondarily developed grammatical agreement with the thing possessed, thereby becoming a determiner rather than a pronoun in the strict sense. The grammatical agreement is attested in Plautus and classical Latin texts, though uncommonly.
