Meaning & usage
dark, quiet and secluded place
Where this word comes from
Inherited from Ottoman Turkish قویتو (koytu). Further etymology uncertain. Three possibilities have been proposed: * From Middle Mongol ᠬᠣᠢᠲᠤ (qoitu, “behind; to the north”) (Modern Mongolian хойд (xojd) / ᠬᠣᠶᠢᠳᠤ (qoyidu)). Compare kuz (“place not under sunlight, shadowed hillside”) and kuzey (“north”) for the semantic parity with "north" <> "secluded". * A native Turkic word with sparse attestation, if so, would be cognate with Karakhanid [script needed] (ku:y, “bottom of a valley”), Tuvan куй (kuy, “cave”) and Khakas хуй (xuy, “cave”). * From Ancient Greek κοїθε (koїthe, “seaside”).
