Swedish
editAlternative forms
editEtymology
editFrom Old Swedish kiusa, from Old Norse kjósa, from Proto-Germanic *keusaną (“to taste, choose”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵéwseti, from *ǵews- (“to taste, try”). Cognate to English choose. The spelling is unetymological and was changed in the 17th century. A modern spelling kjusa would otherwise be expected.
