editEtymology
editUncertain; from earlier cocturnīx, possibly from Proto-Italic *kwaktrīx and influenced by cōrnīx (“crow”), from Proto-Indo-European *kʷóǵ⁽ʰ⁾-tr-ih₂-k-s, from *kʷeǵ⁽ʰ⁾- (“to flee”), cognate with Proto-West Germanic *hwahtlā (“quail”). Doublet of quaccola (“quail”). Perhaps related to Latin conquinīscō (“to crouch down”), Old Norse *hvekka (“to be startled”), Proto-Slavic *čeznǫti (“to disappear”).
