Etymology

From a dialectal variant, from Middle Low German kāk (“stake, rod”), Proto-Germanic *kōpǭ (“the prow of a sleigh”), ultimately related to the root of Kegel.
Compare Old Norse kafl, kafli (“an elongated, round piece of wood”), Old Norse kefli (“a roll; scroll”), Middle Low German kavele (“cut wood used for lots”), dialectal German Kabel (“loose parts; odds and ends”).
