The early meaning was ‘musical sound, singing’; in the mid 17th cent. this gave rise to the senses ‘whining manner of speaking’ and ‘form of words repeated mechanically in this manner’ (for example a beggar's plea), hence ‘jargon’ (of beggars and other such groups).

Word Originverb Middle English (denoting an edge or brink): from Middle Low German kant, kante, Middle Dutch cant ‘point, side, edge’, based on a Romance word related to medieval Latin cantus ‘corner, side’.
