Danish

Etymology 1

From Old Danish keed, possibly from Proto-Germanic *kaibaz (“crooked”), cf. Norwegian Nynorsk keiv (“wry, wrong, left”), keive (“left hand”), German Low German keef (“tired”). The adjective has forms with -w in Danish dialects of Jutland and Bornholm. Possibly the standard form k?ð arose in the syntagm led og ked.

The adjective is derived from the verb *k?ban? (“to quarrel”), cf. Danish kives, German keifen, and Dutch kijven.

Pronunciation

Adjective

ked (neuter ked, plural and definite singular attributive kede, comparative mere ked, superlative (predicative) mest ked, superlative (attributive) mest kede)
