That “cutting”, which is an action, originates from the Proto-Slavic language, where the word looks like rǫbiti, from which the Old Russian verb “cut” was formed, and then the Russian “cut”. It is also associated with"shirt", "rags", that is, coarse clothing.
That cabin, which means room, comes from the Dutch noun roef, which translates as cabin.
