Proto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Per Derksen, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *kuśnas, probably continuing an obscure Proto-Indo-European *kewḱ-. Cognate[1] with Latvian kusls (stiff, small, weak), Lithuanian kùšlas (blind, weak, small).

Trubachev proposes instead a connection to Proto-Slavic *kysělъ (sour, bitter) (or Proto-Slavic *kvasъ (leaven) in that matter) via semantic shift souroverpassed its expiration datelate similar to Latin sērus (late) from Latin serum (whey).

Technically, could also reflect an earlier *kъtsьnъ akin to Proto-Slavic *kъsenь (caviar, spawn), Proto-Slavic *kutiti (to push), Proto-Slavic *kustriti (to push, to incite) and further Lithuanian kùtas (fringe, hem). Per Snoj, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kweh₂t- (to seethe), probably a t-extension of Proto-Indo-European *kewh₂- (to hew).
