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.
