According to the Merriam-Webster's dictionary, 'bagel' derives from the transliteration of the Yiddish 'beygl', which came from the Middle High German 'böugel' or ring, which itself came from 'bouc' (ring) in Old High German, similar to the Old English 'bēag' '(ring), and 'būgan' (to bend or bow). Another etymology in the Webster's New World College Dictionary says that the Middle High German form was derived from the Austrian German'beugel', a kind of croissant, and was similar to the German 'bügel', a stirrup or ring.
