Etymology

Inherited from Middle French: bague

Cognate with Middle Low German: bâge

Cognate with Old French: wage

Cognate with Old French: bage

Cognate with Catalan: baga

In summary

Inherited from Middle French bague, possibly a borrowing from Middle Dutch bage, bagge (“ring”), of obscure origin, but likely from Old Frisian bāg, bāch (“ring”), from Proto-West Germanic *baug, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *baugaz (“ring, circlet”).
Compare Middle Low German bâge, bôge (“curve, arch, ring”), Old French wage (“ring”). Compare also Old French bage, Medieval Latin baga (“ring”) (also from the Proto-Germanic).
Another theory proposes a derivation from Latin baca (“berry”), plausible semantically, and comparable to Catalan baga (“ring”).
