Etymology of JUNGLE COCK

The etymology of the word "jungle cock" can be traced back to a combination of two words: "jungle" and "cock".

- "Jungle": The word "jungle" comes from the Hindi word "jangal" or Sanskrit "jangala", meaning "uncultivated land" or "forest". It later entered into the English language through colonizers who encountered dense, tropical forests in various parts of the world, particularly South Asia.

- "Cock": In this context, "cock" refers to the male of the domestic fowl, specifically the rooster. The word "cock" has Old English roots and initially carried the meaning of "male bird".

The phrase "jungle cock" is most commonly associated with a particular type of bird known as the "junglefowl" (Gallus sonneratii), native to the forests of Sri Lanka and southeastern India.
