puppy · cub (the young of certain other animals, generally mammals) · pup (young of foxes, seals or sea lions)
çekim: çoğul cachorros
köken: Uncertain. Likely inherited from Vulgar Latin *cattulus, from Latin catŭlus (“whelp, puppy”), plus the suffix -orro; whence also Portuguese cachorro. If so, a doublet of cacho (“chub”). An alternative link to Basque txakur, xakur (“puppy”) has been proposed, but it is often dismissed as speculative.
köken: From Byzantine Greek κουτάβιον (koutábion), of uncertain further origin. Perhaps from an element *kut- of Slavic origin (compare Bulgarian ку́че (kúče, “dog”)) + a suffix -άβιον (-ávion). Likely not related to κόττᾰβος (kóttăbos, “cottabus (game)”).
köken: First attested in the Gugeupganibang eonhae (救急簡易方諺解 / 구급간이방언해), 1489, as Middle Korean 가ᇰ아지 (Yale: kang.aci). From 가히 (Yale: kahi, “dog”) (> 개 (gae)) + -ᅌᅡ지 (Yale: -ngaci, diminutive suffix).
köken: A diminutive form of כֶּלֶב (kélev, “dog”) formed by partial reduplication. Compare with חֲתַלְתּוּל (khataltúl, “a kitten, a kitty”) (from חָתוּל (khatúl, “a cat”)).
