Word origin
The word 'rocks' has Old English origins, derived from the word 'rocc', meaning a large stone. Over time, the term evolved to refer to solid mineral material, and in modern usage, it also conveys a sense of strength and stability. The verb form of 'rocks' to denote excellence or impressiveness emerged in informal language, likely influenced by the rock music culture of the mid-20th century.
