From Middle English hyve, from Old English hȳf, from Proto-West Germanic *hūfi (compare Dutch huif(“beehive”), Danish dialect huv(“ship’s hull”)), from Proto-Indo-European *kuHp-(“water vessel”) (compare Latin cūpa(“tub, vat”), Ancient Greek κύπη(kúpē, “gap, hole”), κύπελλον(kúpellon, “beaker”), Sanskrit कूप(kū́pa, “cave”)), from *kew-(“to bend, curve”). The computing term was chosen as an in-joke relating to bees; see [1].
