Etymology

Cognate with Ukrainian кукуру́(д)з ‎(kukurú(d)z), кукуру́(д)за ‎(kukurú(d)za), Bulgarian кукуру́з ‎(kukurúz), кукума́ра ‎(kukumára), кукура́тка ‎(kukurátka), Serbo-Croatian куку̀руз, Slovenian kukuruza, kukorica, koruza, Polish kukurudza, kukurydza. German Kukuruz was borrowed from Slavic. A difficult word to ascertain the ultimate origin of.

The suggestion of a Slavic origin and a relationship to Serbo-Croatian kukurek ‎(“hellebore”) and Bulgarian кукуря́к ‎(kukurják, “hellebore”), Slovenian kukurjav, kukurjast ‎(“curled”) does not explain the word-form difficulties (-dz-). Compare Bulgarian момору́з ‎(momorúz), моморо́з ‎(momoróz, “corn, maize”), мамалига ‎(mamaliga, “hominy”).

If the source were Romanian cucuruz, it should have originally had the meaning of "pine cones".

A noteworthy hypothesis for the source of "kukuru" is a word used for calling poultry for their feeding (with corn/maize).

The explanation that the term is a loanword from Ottoman Turkish قوقوروز ‎(kokoroz), ultimately from Albanian kokërrëz, from kokërr,[1] remains frequently cited, but derivation from Turkic kоkоrоs ‎(“corn, maize”) was refuted by F. Miklošič and F. E. Korsch.
