Old East Slavic

Etymology

By surface analysis, кѫпати (kǫpati, “to bathe”) +‎ -ло (-lo). Belarusian купа́ўло (kupáŭlo, “bathing place”) suggests it's inherited from Proto-Slavic *kǫpadlo, but the original meaning is unattested.

Sense 2 is a semantic loan from Ancient Greek βαπτιστής (baptistḗs, “baptist”) from βαπτίζω (baptízō, “to wash, clean with water; to baptize”).
