Definition of Keps...as in KEPS Nut

I had a student ask me why a KEPS nut is called a KEPS nut today.
I have no idea. I know they are sometimes called K-nuts or washer nuts.
I looked on the web... can't find an acronym or a definition
I had thought it might be a company or something...

Anyone have any insight into this.

We are just curious creatures..

thanks
