There was a word in Middle High German: gaf = shell, husk, chaff (actually kaf/kaff)
This came to be used figuratively in various expressions to refer to a trifle or something worthless (mostly figuratively).
In more recent slang, this evolved into the word “Kaff” (meaning a small, unattractive village).
But does that get us anywhere?
