كعك
Arabic
Etymology
Derived from or cognate with Aramaic כַּעְכָּא / ܟܥܟܐ (kaʿkā, “cake, loaf”), from Akkadian 𒈖 (kukku, “cake, loaf, pastry, lump of dough”), ultimately from Sumerian 𒈖 (gug, “offering; cake”). A widespread wanderwort found in many language families, Egyptian ꜥkk / ꜥq (“a type of loaf”) and Proto-Indo-European *gag- / *gōg- (“round, ball-shaped object; lump; clump”), likely distant cognate with English cake.
