Etymology 1
Disputed:
Most likely a metathesis of ܣܲܘܟܵܐ(sawkā, “twig”), from Aramaicסַוְכָּא(sawkā, “branch, bough, twig”), with the usage for “hair” seen in the cognate Turoyoܣܰܘܟܐ(sawko, “hair”); compare also in Classical Syriacܣܘܟܬܐ(sawkəṯā, “branch”).
Also proposed is Classical Syriacܩܘܨܬܐ(qawṣəṯā, “curl”), but very unlikely and posing many issues.
Also proposed to be derived from the verb ܟܵܣܹܐ(kāsē, “to hide, conceal”).
Also suggested to be a borrowing from Russianкоса́(kosá, “braid”).
