Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English cote, coote, cute, cuytt (coot), of origin. Perhaps from an unrecorded Old English - word, or borrowed from Middle Dutch coet, cuut, kuut (coot) (whence modern koet and meerkoet (coot)). Possibly related to kūz, kūze (modern Kauz), cȳta (whence kite), ultimately from *kūt (bird of prey). See kite.
