Where this word comes from
Borrowed from Low German, eventually from Middle Low German kūren (“to lurk”, originally "to crouch, bend, sit hunched over"), whence also English cower, according to Pokorny, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gew- (“to curve, bend”), see also Proto-Germanic *kuddô (“shell, pod”). Used in standard German since the 18th century, either directly from German Low German (then with an artificial adaptation of the vocalism) or through an East Central German dialect.
