Definitions

  1. Eurasian pigeon with white patches on wings and neck

Word origin

From Middle English cowshott, cowschote, quyshte, from Old English cūsċeote (literally “cow shoot”), although it is difficult to understand why such a name would be given to these birds (see cūsċeote for more). Doublet of quist.
