köken: From Central German and German Low German [Term?] dialects; derived from a group of words meaning “knob, knot”. Compare Ripuarian Central Franconian Knöddel (“knot”), Middle Dutch knodde (“knob”). These words belong to the large group of stems related with Knoten (“knot”). The original sense of the verb is “to embrace tightly”; compare English canoodle in the same sense.

köken: Unknown, but probably a sound-symbolic/expressive word. Compare Low German knuffeln, knüffeln, an iterative form of Low German knuffen (“to poke; bump; nudge”), West Frisian knoffelje (“to push; knock; bump”).
köken: From 寄(よ)り (yori, 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 寄(よ)る (yoru, “to come near”)) + 添(そ)う (sou, “to accompany”).
köken: Borrowed from or related to Middle Low German kūren (“to lurk”, originally "to crouch, bend, sit hunched over"), whence also English cower, according to Pokorny, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gew- (“to curve, bend”), see also Proto-Germanic *kuddô (“shell, pod”). Comparable to Swedish kura (“to huddle, cower”).
