cake

Etymology

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *gag- ~ *gōg- (‘round, ball-shaped object; lump; clump’), but this reconstruction is obsolete in view of modern laryngeal theory as well as semantically gratuitous. Proto-Indo-European *geh₂g- or similar is possible, with the zero grade seen in the synonym *kakǭ, but external cognates are unknown. Possibly a sound-symbolic invention.
