Where this word comes from
Borrowed from Middle Low German hētwegge (“hot wedge-shaped bun”), from hēt (“hot”) + wegge (“wedge; wedge-shaped bun”). The second element referred to the bun's original wedge shape; the modern spelling resembles vegg (“wall”). Compare Swedish hetvägg and Danish hedevig (“hot bun, Shrovetide bun”).
