Where this word comes from

Derived from Latin cōs (“whetstone”) through the probable intermediary *cuțitură (“something sharpened with a whetstone”). This form is attested at a later date in northern Moldova, though it may be a result of folk etymology. Thus related to cuțit (“knife”) and ascuți (“sharpen”). The reduction of the syllable -ți- to -s- is also attested in words like negustor (from neguțător). First attested in 1682.
