One possible explanation is that the word is formed by backslang of the syllables in the dialectal word kaffi (“coffee”), from Dutch koffie or a similar source. Another possible etymology is that it is derived from the older verb fika (desire, crave – see § Etymology 2), in the sense of craving something sweet.",
