Etymology
Uncertain. According to Mayrhofer, probably borrowed from a substrate language or an Indo-Aryan vernacular. Alternatively, perhaps from original *kīr-tá- and thus somehow related to कृमि॑ (kṛ́mi, “worm”).[1]
Despite superficial similarities, unrelated to Ancient Greek κίς (kís, “weevil”).
