kostua
Finnish
editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Finnic *kostudak, reflexive derivative kostaa + -ua, originally meaning "to return" (intr.). The modern meaning is a result of contamination by the unrelated word kastua (“to get wet”), seemingly via an intermediate meaning "to return to usable condition by moistening" said of e.g. leather or wooden tools or dry bread.
Pronunciation
editVerb
editkostua
- to get moist, to get damp
- to water (of the eyes, to fill with tears due to irritation, pain etc.)
- (chiefly in the negative) to benefit from [with elative], of e.g. a plot
- (vulgar) to get wet (of a woman, to become sexually aroused)
