Etymology

1. Borrowed from German Kugel (“ball, sphere; bullet”), from Middle High German kugel (“ball, sphere”). The further origin of the German word is uncertain; it may be related to Middle Dutch coghele (“ball, bullet”) and ultimately reflect Proto-West Germanic *kugulā (“ball, swelling”).
2. Compare Dutch kogel (“ball, sphere; bullet”), West Frisian kûgel (“bullet”), Luxembourgish Kugel (“ball, bullet”), and Danish kugle (“ball, sphere; bullet”). Also compare kula (“ball, sphere; bullet”), an inherited Old Norse word whose spherical senses were influenced by Middle Low German and German.
