Comm NT: 69. Kukata is not in PED. It is impossible to render into English this “portmanteau” etymology, e.g. kucchita-kata—kukata, kukutatā … kukkucca, which depends mostly on a fortuitous parallelism of meaning and verbal forms in the Pali. While useless to strict modern etymologists, it has a definite semantic and mnemonic use.
