• James A. H. Murrayet al., editors (1884–1928), “Koks”, inA New English Dictionary on Historical Principles (Oxford English Dictionary), London:Clarendon Press,→OCLC.

FromProto-Baltic*kuok-, fromProto-Indo-European*kewk-, from the stem*kew-(“to bend, to be bent”).

Meaning at first “bent wood, branch, stick,” it soon became “wood, tree.” It competed withmežs (<*medis), the original term for “wood, tree,” which soon acquired the meaning of “forest.” The original “branch, stick” meaning ofkoks can still be occasionally found (see below).

Cognates includeLithuaniankúoka(“stick with thick end, pounder, pestle”),kúokas(“stick with thick end; thick end of a stick; tuber; mace, club”),kukà(“stick”),Bulgarianкука(kuka,“spike, peg, wedge, hook, handle”).^[1]
