Etymology
From Proto-Indo-Iranian *kútra, from *kú + *-tra (whence the suffix -त्र (-tra)). The first element is from dialectal Proto-Indo-European *kʷú (“where”), formed from the interrogative pronoun stem *kʷ- as in *kʷos, *kʷís. Cognates include Latin necubi, ubi, Avestan 𐬐𐬎𐬛𐬁 (kudā, “where”), 𐬐𐬏 (kū, “where”), Cretan Greek ὀπυι (opui, “whither”), Albanian ku (“where”), Lithuanian kur̃ (“where”).
