It is related to a wide range of Indo-European words in this general sense area, including Sanskrit játu ‘gum’, German kitt ‘putty’, and Swedish kâda ‘resin’, and the first syllable of Latin bitūmen (source of English bitumen [15]) is generally referred to the same source. Quid ‘piece of tobacco for chewing’ is a variant of cud.=> bitumen, quid
