kot
Albanian
Etymology 1
Theoretically from Proto-Albanian *kākta, of uncertain origin; potentially akin to Lithuanian koktùs (“disgusting”) via Proto-Indo-European. An older hypothesis connects it to Ancient Greek κότος (kótos, “rancor, grudge”).[1]
Adverb
kot
Adjective

Etymology 2

Dutch
Etymology
From Middle Dutch cot, cote, from Old Dutch [Term?] cota (in place names), kota (“little house”), from Proto-Germanic *kutą, *kutan (“shed”), probably of non-Indo-European origin, but possibly borrowed from Uralic; compare Finnish kota (“hut, house”) and Hungarian ház (“house”), both from Proto-Finno-Ugric/Proto-Uralic *kota. However, compare Dutch and English hut.[1]
Cognate to English cot, cote, German Kate.
