kedgev.

Brit. /kɛdʒ/, U.S. /kɛdʒ/
Forms: Also 1600s kedg.
Etymology: Perhaps a specialized variant of cadge v. For the change froma to e, compare keg, ketch, < cag, catch, etc. The earliest forms evidenced are those of the verbal noun kedging in the combination cagging-anchor , -cable , and the agent-noun kedger (cagger ) which are perhaps to be referred to cadge v. in the sense ‘tie, fasten’. The verb may be a back-formation from this, after the special sense was developed.
Nautical.
intransitive.
a. To warp a ship, or move it from one position to another by winding in a hawser attached to a small anchor dropped at some distance; also transitive to warp.
