Nguồn gốc từ

Origin, but probably from a frequentative form of Middle English *cudden, cuththen, keththen (to embrace), a variant of cuthen, kuthen, kithen (to be familiar with, make known), from Middle English cuth, couth (known, familiar), equivalent to couth + -le. Cognate with kudden. More at couth.
