KilmėFrom a lengthened grade formation of Proto-Indo-European *(s)kep- (“to cut, cleave”). Cognate with Latvian kàpt (“to muck out”), Ancient Greek κόπτω (kóptō, “to strike, knock”). An alternative theory from Smoczynski tentatively derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *kap- (“to hold, seize”).
