Этимология (Английский)

Унаследовано от среднеанглийский: cotsete

Унаследовано от староанглийский: cotsǣta

Родственно итальянский: 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.
