Where this word comes from

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”).
