While looking it up, I'm pretty sure I read that Kool Desktop Environment was changed to K Desktop Environment. Either way, it's absolutely Konfusing regardless of how you slice it.

Konfusing? Everything is krystal klear in KDE, or you kan make it opaque, too, as all konfigurations are exposed for maximum kustomization

Jep, always the K in KDE applications, like oKular and dolphin.

Some of the KDE apps are useful even on other OSes. KID3 is still my favourite MP3/FLAC tagger even on Windows.

Flawless victory.

Originally, it had no meaning. It was just the letter K. There are attempts to rewrite history, give it some purpose, but no.
