Probably a yod-present formation from a Proto-Indo-European *(s)kop- (“to strike, to beat”) (though there is a chance that the word is a substrate borrowing). Cognate with Lithuanian kàpti (“to hew, fell”), kaplỹs (“hatchet”), Albanian kep (“to hew, chisel”), Proto-Slavic *kopàti (“to dig”);[1] compare also perhaps Old Church Slavonic скопити (skopiti, “castrate”), Old High German happa (“scythe”), English hatchet.

This form was a learned borrowing from Ancient Greek κόπτω (kóptō) found in Katharevousa; compare the inherited doublet κόβω (kóvo).
