Etymology
1. From Proto-Italic *katelos (“cub”), with parallel in Umbrian 𐌊𐌀𐌕𐌄𐌋 (katel, “a sacrificial animal”, nom. sg.). Despite IE cognates such as Old Irish cadla (“goat”), Middle High German hatele (“goat”), Old Norse haðna (“young goat”), Serbo-Croatian kot (“(time of) having young, litter, breed”), dial. Polish kót (“place where forest animals young”), Russian око́т (okót, “lambing time, litter”), De Vaan (2008) doubts a Proto-Indo-European origin.
2. Sense 3 is likely a semantic loan from Ancient Greek σκύλαξ (skúlax). See: Old Norse Nouns '
haðna'.
