Where this word comes from
Of uncertain origin. The term is traditionally compared with Old Church Slavonic кость (kostĭ). For instance, Derksen considers their kinship to be "quite possible." However, the connection is complicated if the Proto-Slavic term is derived from a pre-form *Host-, as such a term would not produce the Latin word. For this reason, De Vaan rejects the connection between the Slavic and Latin terms.
