Etymology
By surface analysis, קיניג (kinig) + ־ל (-l). Either directly inherited from Middle High German küniklīn, küniglin, from a folk etymological interpretation of Old French connil (albeit later rebracketed to be considered as suffixed by ־ל (-l), hence the neuter gender and the ־עך (-ekh) plural form); or a calque of Polish królik, itself a calque of the Middle High German term. Related to German Karnickel. Compare also German Kaninchen, also with a diminutive suffix.
Noun
