Where it comes from
Borrowed from French quiche, from Lorraine Rhine Franconian Küeche (“cake”), from Middle High German kuoche (German Kuchen, English kuchen), from Old High German kuocho, kuohho, from Proto-Germanic *kōkô (English cookie), from Proto-Indo-European *gog- (“ball-shaped object”), whence also English cake (via Proto-Germanic *kakǭ (“cake”)). Compare Persian کوکو (kuku, “quiche”). More at cake. The sexually alluring sense originates from the 2013 Australian TV sitcom Ja'mie: Private School Girl, where it is defined as "a step above hot".
