Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *kerpas, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kerpos (“shell, sharp object”) , from *(s)kerp-. The original meaning was "clay pot or vessel". For a semantic shift to "skull" compare Latin tēsta (“brick, tile”) > French tête (“head”). Alternatively, could have originated from *kʷerp- (“to whirl, to twist”).
