Origin: A borrowing from Scottish Gaelic. Etymon: Scottish Gaelic cuach.
Etymology: < Scottish Gaelic cuach cup (Early Irish cuach), of uncertain origin, perhaps cognate with Welsh cawg dish, bowl (13th cent.).The Celtic word is no longer thought to derive < post-classical Latin caucus drinking-cup (late 4th cent. in Jerome; > Old English cēac ), probably < Byzantine Greek καῦκος cup; compare Byzantine Greek καυκίον vessel, cup. The β. forms apparently developed by analogy with the variation between (Scots) /x/ and (English) /f/ in e.g. laugh v.
Scottish.
A shallow drinking cup, usually with two flat handles and made of small wooden staves hooped together, but sometimes of silver or fitted with a silver rim. Also: a bowl or trophy of similar design. Sc. National Dict., s.v., notes ‘their use is now mainly ornamental’.
