Answer 2

In what context was it used because I don't think that's spelled right. My best guess without anymore information is that you might be thinking of "canaigre" which is A perennial herb used for tanning and in herbal medicine. Perhaps its a drug/beer reference?

If you can give more info I'll try to check it out.
