Unknown. Several explanations are proposed:
- From *kǫpa (“bend, fold”) + *-ati, from Proto-Indo-European *kh₂em- (“to bend”). This etymology assumes the development: “knee bend” > “to bathe or dip in water squatting”
- Related with *čępěti (“to sit in a squat”) with development as above
- Somehow related with Proto-Germanic *habą (“sea”)
Verb
- (transitive) to bathe, bath
- (reflexive with *sę) to take a bath
