Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Probably from the same root as in *česati (“to scratch, comb”). Akin to Old Prussian kiosi (“cup”).
The Slavic term also resembles Proto-Indo-Iranian *čaš- (“to feed, to taste”) (cf Persian چشیدن (češidan, “to taste”), Sanskrit चष् (caṣ, “to eat”)) which gave Sanskrit चषक (caṣaka, “cup”) and Old Armenian ճաշակ (čašak, “drinking vessel”). This similarity suggests a possible borrowing from Scythian.
