Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Per Derksen, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *kuśnas, probably continuing an obscure Proto-Indo-European *kewḱ-. Cognate[1] with Latvian kusls (“stiff, small, weak”), Lithuanian kùšlas (“blind, weak, small”).
Trubachev proposes instead a connection to Proto-Slavic *kysělъ (“sour, bitter”) (or Proto-Slavic *kvasъ (“leaven”) in that matter) via semantic shift sour → overpassed its expiration date → late similar to Latin sērus (“late”) from Latin serum (“whey”).
Technically, could also reflect an earlier *kъtsьnъ akin to Proto-Slavic *kъsenь (“caviar, spawn”), Proto-Slavic *kutiti (“to push”), Proto-Slavic *kustriti (“to push, to incite”) and further Lithuanian kùtas (“fringe, hem”). Per Snoj, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kweh₂t- (“to seethe”), probably a t-extension of Proto-Indo-European *kewh₂- (“to hew”).
