Word origin, evidence & sources
Word origin · etymology
Kuta represents Sanskrit kūṭa (कूट), used as a technical name for a factor in traditional horoscope matching.Monier-Williams records senses including a peak, heap or multitude. Those literal senses do not establish why the matching term arose; here its technical use is documented separately in the Jyotish manual.
How we know · epistemology
Traditional matching conventionsA score summarizes the chosen scheme, not a measured probability of relationship success. Sign counts or graha drishti alone do not constitute Kuta matching; the studio does not calculate it.
