Albanian

[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

Theoretically from Proto-Albanian *kākta, of uncertain origin; potentially akin to Lithuanian koktùs (disgusting) via Proto-Indo-European. An older hypothesis connects it to Ancient Greek κότος (kótos, rancor, grudge).[1]

Adverb

[edit]

kot

  1. worthlessly
  2. in vain

Adjective

[edit]

kot

  1. worthless
  2. pointless

Etymology 2

[edit]

From Proto-Albanian *kāta, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kHtos (shade, shadow, darkness). Compare Old Irish scáth (shadow), Ancient Greek σκότος (skótos, darkness), Sanskrit छत्त्र (chattra, umbrella), English shadow.[2]

Noun

[edit]

kot m

  1. darkness
