**Etymology** French *coquille* (shell) comes via Old French *coquille* from Latin *cochlea*, itself derived from Greek *κοχύλη* (kokhylē) meaning “spiral shell” or “snail shell.” The Latin term gave the anatomical name *cochlea* for the spiral part of the inner ear, while in French it broadened from the shell of a snail to the protective outer covering of many crustaceans and molluscs.
