Etymology of COTQUEAN

The word "cotquean" is derived from a combination of two words: "cot" and "quean", both of which have individual etymologies.

The term "cot" originally meant a small cottage or a humble dwelling. It is derived from the Old English word "cot" or "cotte", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic root "kutjan", meaning "small house" or "hut".

The term "quean", on the other hand, had a different meaning in Old English. It was used to refer to a woman, often with connotations of being a young or unmarried woman. The modern English word "queen" has the same origin as "quean". "Quean" is derived from the Old English word "cwene", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic root "kwenon".

Plural form of COTQUEAN is COTQUEANS
