In summary

Inherited from Middle French kanete (“vase, pitcher for serving beer”), a diminutive (with suffix -ette) of Medieval Latin cana, canna (“can, jug, vessel”), from Frankish *kanna (“jug, pitcher, can”), from Proto-Germanic *kannǭ (“tankard, mug, can”), from Proto-Indo-European *gandʰ-, *gan- (“a vessel, tub”). Cognate with Old High German channa (“can”), Old English canne (“can”). More at can.
