köken: Inherited from Byzantine Greek ροῦχον (roûkhon), borrowed from a Slavic language; see Proto-Slavic *ruxo (“garments, clothing”) (whence Serbo-Croatian ruho, Polish rucho) for more.

köken: From Proto-Albanian *pait- (“gown, cloak”), a derivation with the suffix -kë. Cognate with Gothic 𐍀𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌰 (paida, “tunic, shirt”) and Ancient Greek βαίτη (baítē). A loanword from Gothic is also phonetically possible. Orel considers it a derivation from petë, reconstructing Proto-Albanian *patika.
