Etymology

[edit]

Mazurized form of *czyga,[1][2] likely borrowed, but the exact language is sometimes disputed. Some point to Hungarian csiga (“snail”);[3][2] compare csigalépcső where the same word means "spiral" as the first element. Alternatively, borrowed from Slovak čiga. However, Bańkowski disputes Hungarian origin,[1] and a Serbo-Croatian etymon has been suggested as an ultimate source.[2] First attested in 1564.[4]
