Etymology

From Proto-West Germanic *kokk (“cock, rooster”), from Proto-Germanic *kukkaz, probably of imitative origin. Cognate with Old Norse kokkr (“cock”).

From Vulgar Latin *cocus, from Latin coquus (“cook”), from coquō (“to cook”). Akin to Old Norse kokkr (“cook”), German Koch, Dutch kok (“cook”), and possibly also Old English āfiġen (“fried”).
