Etymology of HULK

The word "hulk" can be traced back to Middle English, where it originally referred to a large, heavy person or object. It is thought to have derived from the Old Norse word "hulkr", meaning "body", but it may also have roots in Old English or Old Dutch. Over time, "hulk" came to be associated with a specific type of large, bulky ship used for transportation or storage. Eventually, the term began to be applied to dilapidated or abandoned ships, which led to its modern usage for a wrecked or abandoned vessel. Additionally, the term "hulk" has been adopted to describe a person or character who is very strong or powerful, likely influenced by the Marvel Comics character "The Hulk", known for his immense strength.
