Etymology of CO COON

The word "cocoon" is derived from the Middle French word "cocon", which originally referred to the protective covering of a butterfly or moth pupa. The Middle French term itself came from the Occitan word "cocoon" or "coucoun", which meant "eggshell" or "nutshell". This Occitan term possibly originated from the Latin word "cucumis", meaning "gourd" or "melon", as the cocoon's shape can resemble certain fruit. Over time, the word "cocoon" began to be used more generally to describe any protective covering or encasing.
