Where this word comes from
Uncertain, suggestions include: * from contus (“stick, pole; plummet”), as if "to probe, to feel the depth with a (long) pole"; * from cū̆nctor (this appears semantically unconvincing and more likely simply influenced by it, as in the Vulgar Latin derivative below, but compare Japanese 掛ける); * from Proto-Indo-European *preḱ- (“to ask”).
