[ˈkɔtvɐ]
ПроизходInherited from Proto-Slavic *koty (v-stem). Synchronically, either from кот (kot, “tomcat”) + -ва (-va) (due to the similarity between anchors and cat's claws) or from obsolete кота́я (kotája, “to hoop, to distort”) + -ва (-va) (in reference to the U-shape of most anchors).
- anchor (tool to hook a vessel into sea bottom)
