I understood it was just the letter before L in the alphabet. After all, Kool is not a word. ;-)

I was told that in ancient times CDE ruled the world and KDE was sent out to break it's world domination ... of course this could be a biased sight :-)
Taken from Wikipedia
"The name KDE was intended as a wordplay on the existing Common Desktop Environment, available for Unix systems. CDE is an X11-based user environment jointly developed by HP, IBM, and Sun through the X/Open consortium, with an interface and productivity tools based on the Motif graphical widget toolkit. It was supposed to be an intuitively easy-to-use desktop computer environment.[5] The K was originally suggested to stand for "Kool", but it was quickly decided that the K should stand for nothing in particular. The KDE initialism is therefore expanded to "K Desktop Environment"."
