Etymology

Attested since the middle of the 17th century. Related to кибита́ (kibitá, “arched hoop, half of a hoop of a large fish-trap”), obsolete (17th c.) киби́ть (kibítʹ, “arc of the bow”). Cognate with Ukrainian киби́тка (kybýtka), Belarusian кібі́тка (kibítka). Borrowed from Turkic: compare Tatar кибет (kibet), Bashkir кибет (kibet), Kipchak [script needed] (kebit), [script needed] (kibit), [script needed] (kabit, “stall, shop”), Karakhanid [script needed] (käbit, “inn”). Probably ultimately from Sogdian [script needed] (qpyδ /⁠kəpēδ⁠/, “stall”) (akin to Persian کلبه (kolbe); see it for more), though Arabic قُبَّة (qubba, “dome”) too is often mentioned as another possible ultimate source.
