How Do You Spell ACOCKS?

Pronunciation: [ˈakɒks] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "acocks" is quite interesting. It is spelled as /əˈkɒks/ in IPA phonetic transcription. The word is derived from the Middle English word "acok", which meant a cockrel. The spelling change from "acok" to "acocks" might have been due to the influence of the plural form of the word, which was "acokes". Despite not being a common word in contemporary English, "acocks" can be used to refer to a group of cockrels or young roosters.
