čūska

Etymology
This word is traditionally related to and considered imitative of a snake's hissing noise. It seems more likely, though, that the sound symbolism has influenced (cf. dialectal variants, ), but not created, the word, which could then be derived from earlier , from , with a suffix -skā, from , from , , from a stem ,  (whence also 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬). The original meaning of was “one who stabs, pokes, pierces” (cf. dialectal verb, , ), and it was at first a nickname which replaced the earlier term , now restricted to a specific type of snake (“viper”).
