Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Middle English 'kine', an archaic plural form of 'cow', originating from Old English 'cȳ', the plural of 'cū'. The word developed an innovative plural suffix '-en' (common in early Germanic languages, similar to 'oxen'), but was eventually supplanted by the regularized plural 'cows' in standard modern English.
