Etymology
From Proto-Tocharian *cok. Further etymologies uncertain. Possibilities include:[1]
- From Proto-Indo-European, cognate to Old English þæcele (“torch, lamp”), Old High German dahhazzen (“to flare up”). However, reconstructions were problematic (ibid.).
- "More plausibly," from Middle Chinese 燭 (MC tsyowk, “candle”) < Old Chinese 燭 (*tjoɡ /*tok, *tjog/).
