Proto-Slavic

Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed[1] from Gothic 𐌺𐌰𐌿𐍃𐌾𐌰𐌽 (kausjan). Brückner and Sławski do not exclude possible influence from native *kǫsati (to take a bite).

Bulgarian dialects also exhibit meaning “to scoop, to take up” (whence куся́м impf (kusjám, to scoop with a spoon/laddle, to sip), куса́ло (kusálo, laddle)).

Verb

[edit]

*kùsiti pf or impf[1][2][3]

  1. (with perfective) to probe, to degustate → to taste
  2. (with imperfective) to trial, to sample, to put under scrutiny
