yskä
Finnish
Etymology
Of uncertain origin; one theory states that the word originally meant "lap" or "chest", from which was derived yskäntauti ("chest illness"), from which yskä became to mean "cough" by ellipsis. Others believe that the word is onomatopoeic imitating the sound of coughing. Formerly it was believed to be a Germanic loan of the same origin as usko, but this theory has been discarded.
