wiktionary

ref

From Middle English kinken, kynken, from Old English *cincian (attested in cincung), from Proto-West Germanic *kinkōn, from Proto-Germanic *kinkōną(“to laugh”), from Proto-Indo-European *gang-(“to mock, jeer, deride”), related to Old English canc(“jeering, scorn, derision”). Cognate with Dutch kinken(“to kink, cough”).

From Dutch kink(“a twist or curl in a rope”) [1], from Proto-Germanic *kenk-, *keng-(“to bend, turn”), from Proto-Indo-European *gengʰ-(“to turn, wind, braid, weave”). Compare Middle Low German kinke(“spiral screw, coil”), Old Norse kikna(“to bend backwards, sink at the knee”), Icelandic kengur(“a bend or bight; a metal crook”). Probably related to kick.
