cyssan
Old English edit
Etymology edit
From Proto-West Germanic *kussijan, from Proto-Germanic *kussijaną (“to kiss”). Cognate with Old Frisian kessa, Old Saxon kussian, Old Dutch *kussen, Old High German kussen, Old Norse kyssa. Gothic 𐌺𐌿𐌺𐌾𐌰𐌽 (kukjan) ← Proto-Germanic *kukjaną may be somehow related, though it differs from the expected cognate *kussjan.
