Etymology
Related to dialectal ку́да се (kúda se, “to gratify”). Further origin disputed: * Mladenov: Collective noun from Proto-Slavic *ku- (“pile, stack”) + *-da, akin to Bulgarian куп (kup, “pile, heap”), Russian ку́ча (kúča, “id.”). * Georgiev (БЕР): Postverbal from ку́дя (kúdja, “to prosecute”) + -а (-a), originally meaning “mob, gang, crowd” with negative connotation.
