Etymology

From Proto-Hellenic *kéutʰō. A close relative to this verb is Proto-Germanic *hūdijaną (to hide, conceal). A further comparandum is Old Armenian սուզանեմ (suzanem, to plunge, dive; to hide), but this would presuppose an initial palatal *ḱ-, which does not fit with the other words adduced, like Sanskrit कुहू (kuhū, new moon) and कुहर (kuhara, hole, cavity). Beside the words from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewdʰ- (to cover, wrap, encase), several form with root final *t are found, like κύτος (kútos, hollow; vessel) and σκῦτος (skûtos, skin, hide).
