Common Misspellings for FROCK

Etymology of FROCK

The word "frock" originated in the late Middle English period, around the early 14th century. It has its roots in the Old French word "froc", which meant a Franciscan monk's habit or frock. The Old French term was borrowed from the Frankish language, which was a Germanic language spoken in Western Europe. The Frankish term likely came from the Proto-Germanic word "frokkō" or "froka", which meant a loose, flowing garment.

Over time, the word "frock" expanded its meaning beyond the specific religious habit and came to denote a variety of garments. In general, it referred to a loose, long garment, often with sleeves. It could be a gown, dress, or outer garment, depending on the context and historical period.
