cootien.²

Brit.

/ˈkuːti/, U.S.

/ˈkudi/

Forms: 1900s– cootie, 1900s– cooty, 1900s– kootie.

Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: coot n.³, -y suffix⁶.

Etymology: Probably < coot n.³ + -y suffix⁶. Compare slightly earlier cooty adj.It has alternatively been suggested that this word, coot n.³, and cooty adj. might all ultimately reflect a borrowing of either Maori kutu or its cognate Malay kutu louse (or a related word in another Austronesian language), but there is nothing in the early uses of any of these three words to make such an origin seem likely. However, use of coot in the meaning ‘louse’ in the unpublished diary of J. H. Eagleston, who traded between Fiji and Manila in the 1830s, probably does show an isolated borrowing from Malay. For various later borrowed forms of Maori kutu in New Zealand English (some of them probably influenced by familiarity with coot n.³ and cootie n.²) see Dict. N.Z. Eng. at kutu.
