Proto-West Germanic

Etymology

Uncertain. Presumed to derive ultimately from *haþu (“battle”),[1] and synchronically from *haþarōn (“to quarrel, argue”) +‎ *-ō. However, Kroonen reconstructs the word as originating from quasi-Proto-Indo-European *kót-or-eh₂, connecting it to Old Church Slavonic котора (kotora, “quarrel, fight”) as a inherited cognate.[2]
