Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from Dutch or English dock, or via German Low German from Middle Low German docke. Possibly borrowed from Middle English dock; this form is attested a few decades earlier and the earliest Low German attestation refers to the harbours of London.

The ultimate origin is uncertain; possibly from Vulgar Latin *ductia (aqueduct), from Latin duco (I lead).
