Compound of ''čusna'' ‘to choose’, from Middle Valthungian ''kšjusn'' from Old Valthungian ''kjusan'' from Griutungi ''kiusan'', cf. Gothic ''kiusan'', from Proto-Germanic ''keusaną''; and feminine nominalizer suffix ''-ins'', from Middle Valthungian ''–īns'', via Old Valthungian and Griutungi, cf. Gothic ''–eins'', from Proto-Germanic ''–īniz'', originally restricted to nominalization of Class 1 weak verbs only, but later applying to all verb classes.
