Etymology

From Dutch fok, from Middle Dutch focke, further origin unclear. Possibly from the verb vocken (“to blow”), itself of uncertain origin, perhaps related to Faroese fokka (“jib”), though this could have been a reverse borrowing. Both of these could be from Proto-Germanic *fuk(k)ōn- (“to blow”), from Proto-Indo-European *pug-néh₂-.
