It is another variant of kiosk or kiosk, closer to the old Turkish kö 351;k ("pavilion, viewpoint") that in that language evolved into "mansion", which would really be a return to its Persian origin, but which passed to the rest of Europe as "shop", "small and independent of another larger building for sale, promotion, information, . . . " .
