likely it comes from the sound of kissing
& has hypothetically very old germanic roots & known precursors like kussijanan & kuss etc
long before it ever got into Anglo saxon in the early middle ages as cyssan
meaning to kiss
& pronounced kissan
& cyssan meaning to kiss
became just kiss
in the sense of both to kiss & a kiss
by first compromising with the other old & middle English words for a kiss
which were a coss & later a cuss
& by ultimately winning out over them entirely
probably because cyssan was a verb & they were only nouns
