Etymology
Borrowed from a South Slavic language, compare Serbo-Croatian košara , Slovene košara . The meaning “rejection” came into use in analogy with German Korb ( “ basket; rejection ” ) , which in turn is due to a medieval custom of giving a bottomless basket as a symbol of unrequited love.[ 1]
