Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English cove, from Old English cofa (chamber; den), from *kobō, from Proto-Germanic *kubô. Cognate with koof, Koov, Koben, kofi. This word has probably survived as long as it has due to its coincidental phonetic resemblance to the unrelated word cave. Also unrelated to cueva, which itself is a cognate of cave.
