Greek
Etymology
From κουτουρού (koutouroú).
2 Possibilities exist:
- From either Ottoman Turkish كوتردی (kütürdü, kütürtü) or كوتور (kütür) both with the meaning related to a crashing or cracking or hard hitting sound from كوت (küt) or كوت كوت (küt küt) which are likely onomatopoeic.[1] The semantic shift from a type of hard sound to stupidity or foolishness is unexplained and is likely a Greek innovation.
