Its root in the classical dictionaries
الكن: ما يحفظ فيه الشيء. يقال: كننت
قوله: ﴿وجعل لكم من الجبال أكنانا﴾ [النحل: 81] هي جمع كن. والكن: ما يكنك أي يسترك ويصونك عما يؤذيك. وكننت الشيء: جعلته في كن، قيل: وخص كننت بما يستر بثوب أو بيت ونحوه من الأجسام؛ قال تعالى: ﴿كأنهن بيض مكنون﴾ [الصافات: 49] يريد بيض النعام لأنها تصونه بدفنه في الرمل.

It is God Who made. Out of the things He created, Some things to give you shade; Of the hills He made some For your shelter; He made you Garments to protect you From heat, and coats of mail To protect you from Your (mutual) violence. Thus does He complete His favours on you, that Ye may bow to His Will (In Islām).
Surah An-Nahl, verse 16:81
