Origins
Uncertain; possibly from Proto-Italic *kwakklā, from earlier *kwaktlā, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷóǵ⁽ʰ⁾-tl-eh₂, from *kʷeǵ⁽ʰ⁾- (“to flee”), or perhaps borrowed from cognate Proto-West Germanic *hwahtlā (“quail”). Possible doublet of cōturnīx, cocturnīx (“quail”). Apparently reborrowed back into Proto-West Germanic as *kwattulā. First attested in the eighth-century Reichenau Glossary. The late attestation points to a borrowing from Germanic.
