Etymology

The word 'quack' originates from Middle Dutch 'kweken' or 'cwecken', which means to croak or quack. The earliest recorded use in English dates back to the 14th century. It mimics the sound that ducks make, and over time, it became a verb in English usage to describe not only the sound the bird makes but also to reference similar sounds made by other creatures or imitative sounds made by humans. It's interesting to note that 'quack' has also been playfully used in various expressions, such as 'quack doctor' to denote a charlatan or someone pretending to have medical knowledge.
