From Proto-Celtic *kʷuts (“to, towards”), cognate with Middle Welsh py (“to”). This may be from Proto-Italo-Celtic *kuts ‘some (of the) way’, whence Latin us-quam (“somewhere”), us-que (“all of the way”), and Oscan 𐌐𐌖𐌆 (puz, “as, that”, conjunction).[2][3][4] See Proto-Indo-European *ku (“where”).

The inflected forms on the other hand are from Proto-Celtic *kʷunkʷe ← *kʷum +‎ *-kʷe, for which compare Proto-Slavic *kъ(n) (“to, towards”).
