Etymology

1. From Old Swedish kökia, borrowed from Middle Low German köke, koke, kokene, from Late Latin cocīna, from earlier coquīna (“kitchen; cuisine”), from coquō (“to cook”), from Proto-Indo-European *pekʷ- (“to cook, become ripe”).
2. Replaced native stekarehus/stekarahus and eldhus, from which came the switch to the neuter gender. (The Old Swedish word was feminine like the Middle Low German word that it was borrowed from.) Cognate with English kitchen, German Küche, and French cuisine. See: English Nouns 'kitchen', German Nouns 'Küche', French Nouns 'cuisine'.
