The most immediate source is the French kiosque (17c.), which (along with German and Polish kiosk) derives from the Turkish koshk or kiöshk, meaning "pavilion, summer house," which, in turn, derives from from Persian kushk "palace, villa; pavilion, portico." The current use of the term probably references the form and appearance of some of the pavilions and porticos.
