History
From Middle English kag, of North Germanic origin, related to Old Norse kaggi, Swedish kagge.
Shortening.
From English dialect, from Middle English *kagge, perhaps from Old Norse *kagi, *kaggi, from Proto-Germanic *kagô (“bush, stump”). Cognate with dialectal German Kag (“cabbage stalk, stump”), Swedish kage (“treestump”). Possibly from the same root as Old Norse kaggi (“barrel, cask, keg”). Doublet of chag.
Uncertain. Cognate with Scots kag, kagg (“to vex, grieve”). Perhaps from Middle English caggen (“to tie, bind”), possibly from or related to Old Norse kǫgurr (“quilt, blanket, bedcover, coffin cloth”). Alternatively, perhaps allied with Norwegian Nynorsk kjaka (“to wrangle, harass”).
