Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Unknown. Several explanations are proposed:

From *kǫpa (“bend, fold”) +‎ *-ati, from Proto-Indo-European *kh₂em- (“to bend”). This etymology assumes the development: “knee bend” > “to bathe or dip in water squatting”
Related with *čępěti (“to sit in a squat”) with development as above
Somehow related with Proto-Germanic *habą (“sea”)

Verb

*kǫpàti impf[1][2]

(transitive) to bathe, bath
(reflexive with *sę) to take a bath
