Etymology

Attested since the middle of the 17th century. Related to кибита́ (kibitá, arched hoop, half of a hoop of a large fish-trap), obsolete (17th c.) киби́ть (kibítʹ, arc of the bow). Cognate with Ukrainian киби́тка (kybýtka), Belarusian кібі́тка (kibítka).

Borrowed from Turkic: compare Tatar кибет (kibet), Bashkir кибет (kibet), Kipchak (kebit), (kibit), (kabit, stall, shop), Karakhanid (käbit, inn).

Probably ultimately from Sogdian (qpyδ /⁠kəpēδ⁠/, stall) (akin to Persian کلبه (kolbe); see it for more), though Arabic قُبَّة (qubba, dome) too is often mentioned as another possible ultimate source.
