Possibly from either Proto-Indo-European *kat- (“to link or weave together; chain, net”) (compare catēna (“chain”)), or Proto-Indo-European *ket- (“hut, shed”) (compare Old English heaþor (“restraint, confinement, enclosure, prison”), Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬙𐬀‎ (kata, “chamber”), Mazanderani کَت‎ (kat, “wall”)), likely through borrowing from another Indo-European language rather than inheritance due to the presence of the medial -s-.[1]
