The spelling of "more hocked" may seem confusing at first, but it is actually quite simple when broken down phonetically. The word is pronounced /mɔr hɑkt/ with the "o" sound in "more" sounding like the "aw" in "law" and the "a" in "hocked" sounding like the "ah" in "father". The "ck" in "hocked" is preceded by a short "o" sound, making it a hard "k" sound. Put together, "more hocked" means something has been more deeply or extensively pawned.
