In Russian the word for “cow” is “корова” (pronounced kuh-ROH-vuh).
The word “корова” comes from the Old East Slavic word “кора” which means “horn”. This is because the word “корова” originally referred to the horns of the animal and only later came to mean the whole animal.
The word “корова” is also the root of the word “коровина” which means “calf”.
Interestingly the word “корова” is also used to refer to a female camel in Russian. This is because in ancient times the word “корова” was used to refer to any kind of large horned animal regardless of what species it was.
