nickname for an fat person, from Middle English cach, caiche, cage, kech, a word of unexplained origin but presumably the antecedent of modern English dialect keech (variant catch) ‘lump of congealed fat; fat of a slaughtered animal rolled up into a lump (in preparation for sending to the chandler or tallow maker to make wax)’.

variant of Kedge, a nickname either from Middle English kegge, kigge ‘cheerful, pleasant, agreeable, merry’, or from an unrecorded Middle English kegge ‘belly’, for a pot-bellied person.
