Alternative forms

Etymology

Either:

1. from Proto-Indo-European *kā́p-s ~ *káp-s-os, from *kap- (“to seize, hold”), suffixed with -shtë and ultimately a doublet of kap,
2. or from Proto-Albanian *kāp-esta, from Proto-Indo-European *keh₂po- (“land, garden”), cognate to Proto-Germanic *hōbō.

In both cases it is also cognate to Ancient Greek κῆπος (kêpos).

Noun

1. garden
