Where this word comes from

Probably a secondary variant of kuusanka, which is a Samic borrowing. There are many dialectal variants, some showing kuukk-, others kuuks- or kuusk-, with a wide variety of endings (-iainen, -inen, etc.), as is common for older names for birds, and some onomatopoeic influence is likely. Alternatively the word itself may simply be onomatopoeic.
