Etymology

[edit]

The stem is կից- (kicʻ-). A Georgian-Zan borrowing, ultimately from Proto-Kartvelian *ḳec₁- (to put together).

The attempts to derive from Proto-Indo-European *dwi-sk-, from *dwóh₁ (two), with Old High German zuiski (twofold) as a cognate,[1][2][3] are phonetically and semantically unconvincing.[4][5]
