Origins

From Proto-Italic *koksednī-k-, from Proto-Indo-European *koḱse-dn-iH. According to Pinault, related to Tocharian A kapśañi and Tocharian B kektseñe (“body”), from Proto-Indo-European *koksedon. Coxendīx may then represent a feminine derivative *kokse-dn-ih₂. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *koḱs-, whence Latin coxa (“hip”). Cognate with Sanskrit कक्ष (kakṣa, “armpit”), Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬱𐬀 (kaša, “armpit”), Tocharian B kakse (“midriff loins”) and Old Irish cos (“foot”).
