A "cotquean" in Shakespearean language refers to a man who prefers domestic duties traditionally associated with women. It was used to insult men by implying that they were effeminate or unmanly by taking on tasks that were considered beneath them.
The original language of the word "cot" is likely Old English. It has been used in English since the Middle Ages to refer to a simple portable bed typically used in military or outdoor settings.
"leto" in Italian means "bed" or "cot."
"Cot" in Russian translates to "ะบัะพะฒะฐัั" (krovat').

* The words "caught" are "court" are considered homophones in the UK and Australia, where both are pronounced (kawt).In US English, there is no homophone for "caught" (usually kawt, rhymes with taught, for which there is a homophone, taut).Some dialect rhymes or near rhymes are:- court (US kort)- cot (US kott), a small bed- cawed, what the crows did
cot-quean means im the queen of cots
Lady Capulet is called a "cot-quean" by the Nurse because she is insensitive towards Juliet's feelings and lacks a supportive relationship with her daughter. The term "cot-quean" implies a messy, neglectful housewife, which reflects the Nurse's disapproval of Lady Capulet's maternal abilities.
The word "cot" is our word "cottage" and the word "quean" is from the same root as our word "queen". Both "quean" and "queen" are from a root source that just meant "a woman" (the same source as the Greek "gynae"), but whereas the woman spelt "queen" rose to heights of power and authority, the one spelt "quean" descended to become a brash, scolding housewife or street vendor. Shakespeare only uses this word once, in Romeo and Juliet, and here the "cottage woman" is a man who is acting like a housewife, in this case Capulet, who is rushing around making all the wedding arrangements himself. A cot quean is an effeminate man, or someone who does "woman's work" - housework.
Yes, but it was a rare word back then and now is not used in common speech at all except in reference to its use in Romeo and Juliet. Because the word is not in general use, it hasn't had the chance to change its meaning.
