Where this word comes from

Borrowed from Danish kavring (“rusk, twice-baked bread”). The Danish word is of uncertain origin. It has variously been connected with Russian коври́га (kovríga, “round loaf”), Old Norse kǫgurr (“cover, blanket”), or older Danish kagring, possibly a compound of kage (“cake, bun”) and ring (“ring; bread crust”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk kavring, Faroese karvingur and Swedish kavring (“dark rye bread; formerly also rusk”).
