Word origin
The word 'pock' has its origins from Middle English, where it meant 'a small hole or mark'. It is derived from the Old English word 'pocca', which referred to a bag or pouch, indicating an indentation or space. Over time, the meaning evolved to refer to the act of making a small hole or indentation. The use of 'pocking' as a verb expressing this action came into use in the 15th century, as part of the evolution of the English language, which often adopted and adapted terms from various influences, including Norse and Germanic languages. The imagery associated with this action has remained consistent, emphasizing the act of pushing or piercing through a surface.
