Old Armenian
Etymology
An ablaut grade of խայթ (xaytʿ), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *kh₂id-to-, from *kh₂eyd- (“cut, hew”). The sense “crocodile” developed from “rock, reef”. For the association of crocodile with rocks compare Ancient Greek κροκόδειλος (krokódeilos), said to be from κρόκη (krókē, “pebbles”).
