词源
Old English -uc, -oc.
-ocksuffix, forming diminutives. A few examples of dimin. -oc, -uc, appear in OE., as bealloc ballock, bulluc bullock. In mod.Eng., the chief instance of the dim. suffix is hillock (found already in Wyclif); but other examples occur in the dialects, esp. in Sc., e.g. bittock, lassock, queock or queyock, whilock, wyfock, also proper names as Bessock, Jamock, Kittock: see Jamieson s.v. -oc, -ock. Several names of animals, esp. birds and fishes, have the same ending, and are prob. orig. diminutive; among these are OE. cranoc, cornoc (dim. of cran), crane; ruddoc (read red) redbreast, ruddock; cf. the modern (some ME.) dunnock, haddock, girrock, paddock, piddock, pinnock, pollock, puttock; also, as names of things, buttock, hattock, tussock. In other words (some of which, as bannock, hassock, mattock, go back to OE.) -ock appears to be of different origin.
