Answer 2

سلام

من یه سرچی کردم به گاو فکر نمیکنم ارتباطی داشته باشه

From Old French coart, cuard ( > French couard), from coe ‎(“tail”) + -ard ‎(“pejorative agent noun”); coe is in turn from Latin cauda. The reference seems to be to an animal “turning tail”, or having its tail between its legs, especially a dog.

Origin of coward

Middle English, from Anglo-French cuard, from cue, coe tail, from Latin cauda

First Known Use: 13th century

According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the word coward came into English from the Old French word coart (modern French couard), a combination of the word for "tail" (Modern French queue, Latin cauda) and an agent noun suffix. It would therefore have meant "one with a tail" — perhaps from the habit of animals displaying their tails in flight ("turning tail"), or from a dog's habit of putting its tail between its legs when it is afraid or cowed.^{[citation needed]} Like many other English words of French origin, this word was introduced in the English language by the French-speaking Normans, after the Norman conquest of England in 1066.^[2]

The English surname Coward (as in Noël Coward), however, has the same origin and meaning as the word "cowherd"
