Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *kútra, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kútra, from *kú +‎ *-tra; equivalent to कू (, where) +‎ -त्र (-tra). The first element is from dialectal Proto-Indo-European *kʷú (where), formed from the interrogative pronoun stem *kʷ- as in *kʷos, *kʷis. Cognates include Latin necubi, ubi, Avestan 𐬐𐬎𐬛𐬁 (kudā, where), 𐬐𐬏 (, where), Cretan Greek ὀπυι (opui, whither), Albanian ku (where), Lithuanian kur̃ (where). The suffix is also found in तत्र (tátra), यत्र (yátra), and अत्र (átra), and is from Proto-Indo-European *-trom.
