Etymology

Appears to be a coinage in Japanese from Middle Chinese-derived components, as a compound of 羯 (katsu, “the Jie people, part of the Five Barbarians confederation in antiquity”) +‎ 鼓 (ko, “drum”). So called for the putative origins of the drum design,[1][2] introduced to Japan during the Nara period.[1]
