+ ==Etymology==

+ It is a Sabellic word: de Vaan explains it as the Sabellic outcome of [[itc-pro|*kʷokʷīnā]], the form that gave native Latin [[m|la|coquīna|t=kitchen, cookery]], from the root of [[m|la|coquō|t=to cook]], [[ine-pro|*pekʷ-|t=to cook]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary) The OLD calls it an Italic doublet of [[m|la|coquīna]].^(OLD 2012) The TLL leaves open whether it was borrowed from Oscan or Umbrian or formed in Latin from their word [[m|la|popa]].^(TLL)

+ Plautus has it first, in the ''Poenulus'': “there is drinking and eating as in a cookshop”.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010)
