Etymology
, several theories exist.


 * From, from.
 * Alternatively, of origin, a word used to feed poultry, see  with its many derivatives, in which case the descendants table must be omitted. The Serbo-Croatian word is first attested as kukuruza ‘buckwheat, ’ in 17th-century 's Gazophylacium. Compare the coordinate term 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, which, though it be of  origin, was surely interpreted as relating to chicken so that an analogical formation could be created, with a consonant added to append declensional endings.
 * However, the word kuku used translingually to imitate and attract chicken might have been combined with the 🇨🇬,, which may have had a back vowel since the choice between front and back vowel after was unstable and earlier Ottoman was less palatalized.

Terms like the dialectal, , , , , , , originate in  mistakenly coined by European botanists in the 1530s, but their survival until present day may indicate that the consumption of maize spread to southeastern and east-central Europe from the Ottoman Empire.

Noun
