The English word
cat (
Old English catt) is in origin a loanword, introduced to many
languages of Europe from Latin
cattus[14] and
Byzantine Greek κάττα, including
Portuguese and
Spanish gato,
French chat,
German Katze,
Lithuanian katė and
Old Church Slavonic kotka, among others.
[15] The ultimate source of the word is
Afroasiatic, presumably from
Late Egyptian čaute,
[16] the feminine of
čaus "wildcat". The word was introduced, together with the domestic animal itself, to the
Roman Republic by the 1st century BCE.
[citation needed] An alternative word with cognates in many languages is English
puss (
pussycat). Attested only from the 16th century, it may have been introduced from
Dutch poes or from
Low German puuskatte, related to
Swedish kattepus, or
Norwegian pus,
pusekatt. Similar forms exist in Lithuanian
puižė and
Irish puisín. The etymology of this word is unknown, but it may have simply arisen from a sound used to attract a cat.
