Etymology

1. Of unclear origin.
2. Often said to be from the root underlying *kosnǫti (“to touch”) and *kasati (“to touch, fold”) with an expressive infix *-x-, evolving semantically from “encountering” to “expressively paying honour” and hence “loving”, as per Machek and repeated inter alios by Boryś.
3. However, as Jakobson remarks, the word may rather be from a root for chicken, as seen in *kokošь (“hen”), Czech kokot (“cock”), Proto-Slavic *orzkošь (“voluptuousness, pleasure, orgasm”), Russian ко́ко́ (kókó, “egg”), Proto-Slavic *kočanъ (“head of cabbage; cob or corn; penis”). The Russian expression де́лать кому́-то ку́ры (délatʹ komú-to kúry), which is a partial calque of French faire la cour, albeit with the cour replaced with the similar-sounding but unrelated кур (kur, “rooster”), etc. insinuate that *koxati is from an earlier *koksati evoking erotic rooster imagery; compare English cock for a similar semantic association. Perhaps for this reason, the word's early occurrences in writing are rare due to its apparent uncouth status, thus rendering its usage dialectal in some of the languages it is attested in.
