Not very likely. Ancient Indian etymologies are based on superficial resemblance and are not reliable from a linguistic point of view. If the word is Indo-European, we would be looking for a stem/root *kuud-. According to Monier-Williams, the word is of doubtful derivation. Lars Martin Fosse Dr. art.
