Kichen
Luxembourgish
Alternative forms
- Kéchen (dialectal)
Etymology
From Middle High German küchen, from Old High German chuhhina, from Proto-Germanic *kukinǭ, from Latin coquina. The -i- instead of -é- is irregular; perhaps due to interference by unrelated Kuch (“pie, cake”, diminutive Kichelchen) or influence by German Küche. Also cognate with Dutch keuken, English kitchen.
