From Béarnais Occitan cagot, of uncertain origin.
Many hypotheses have been advanced over time, often postulating some connection with the Visigoths, in accordance with folklore and historical speculation of their mysterious origin. The predominant hypothesis today posits that it is equivalent to Occitan cagar (“to defecate”) + -ot (diminutive suffix) (compare English insults "little shit", shithead, shitter, etc.); this could explain the many local variants, which would've arisen due to taboo deformation.
