Where this word comes from

Uncertain. Commonly connected with kusma (“mumps”), whose original underlying sense was “something swollen”, suggesting an earlier meaning referring to a swelling or something swollen. The comparison through kusma has been linked further with Middle Low German koder (“double chin; hanging throat flesh on cattle”), but this does not establish a direct derivation of kuse. Alternatively, the word may belong to a root with the underlying meaning “vault, hollow, cavity”. The precise origin cannot presently be established. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk kuse, dialectal Swedish Swedish kusa (“female genitalia”) and Danish kusse (“vulva”).
