Etymology
From, from , a parallel form of (whence 🇨🇬, q.v.). The term may originally have been adjectival (cf. 🇨🇬). A relationship between terms for “goat” and “skin” is not infrequent in Indo-European; cf. 🇨🇬,, or 🇨🇬,. In, the term expanded its meaning to cover both human and animal skin (or fur), as well as animal skin as material for making objects, ideas often distinguished in other languages (e.g., 🇨🇬, , and ). The original meaning is perhaps preserved in the 🇨🇬 borrowing. Cognates include 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 (< ), 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 (< ).
