Etymology

From Proto-Baltic *kar-ōut-, *kar-uot- (with a suffix -uot), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker-, *kor- (“to cut, split”). The original meaning was probably that of carved or hollowed object. Cognates include Lithuanian prakartas (“trough, manger”), Old Prussian pracartis (“hod, carrying box”), Proto-Slavic *koryto (“trough, manger”) (Russian корыто (korýto), Bulgarian корито (koríto, “ravine”), Czech, Polish koryto (“trough, manger, (river) bed”)), Sanskrit करोटिः (karoṭiḥ, “plate, bowl, cup”).
