köken: From Middle High German hōde, from Old High German hōdo, from Proto-West Germanic *huþō. The vowel of the Old High German is usually reconstructed as long, but some modern dialects require original shortness, as does apparently Old Frisian hothan, the only Germanic cognate.

köken: From Byzantine Greek ὀρχίδιον (orkhídion), from Ancient Greek ὄρχις (órkhis, “testicle”). The change of the initial vowel from ο to α is due to the liaison from the plural: τὰ ὀρχίδια → (elision) τὰ ’ρχίδια → (rebracketing) τ’ ἀρχίδια.
cell; a room in a prison. · Cell; a room in a monastery for sleeping one person. · Cell; a small group of people forming part of a larger organization.
köken: Uncertain. Perhaps from the variant boașă, possibly from Medieval Latin, Late Latin bursa (“purse”), although this is unlikely. Perhaps from Turkish boş, although this is also doubtful due to the age of the word. Compare Aromanian boashã, Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian boş.
cell (room in a prison or jail for one or more inmates) · cell (small room in a monastery or nunnery accommodating one person) · cella (central, enclosed part of an ancient temple)
From Proto-Brythonic *köll, borrowed through Vulgar Latin from Latin cōleus (“testicle”) (compare Breton kell, Welsh caill), ultimately from Ancient Greek κολεός (koleós).
