Etymology 1

[edit]
Gallus gallus (female) in Nederlandsche vogelen, 1770-1829

Possibly from an imitative birdcall.[1] Not found in Middle Dutch or other Germanic languages. Displaced the older term hen in northern Dutch around the 18th century. The policeman sense might be a semantic loan from French poulet, referring to a police station in Paris that was built over a former farm.

          [edit]

          Etymology

          [edit]

          The adjective is inherited from Proto-Turkic *kǟp (“form, image, example”). Cognate with Azerbaijani kip, Karaim kip (“firm, strong”). Compare Middle Armenian կիպ (kip), Persian کیپ, Turkic borrowings. The noun is a semi-learned borrowing from Karakhanid [script needed] (kīp). The sense mood is a semantic loan from Arabic صيغة (ṣīḡa, “form”), coined by Hüseyin Hüsâmeddin Yasar in 1926 and popularized during the language reform and displaced siga, sıyga.
