How Do You Spell SMOCK?

Pronunciation: [smˈɒk] (IPA)

The word "smock" refers to a loose-fitting garment worn over clothes to protect them, typically by artists or farmers. Its spelling can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription as [smɑk], with the "s" sound at the beginning representing the voiceless alveolar fricative, followed by the monophthong vowel sound [ɑ]. The "m" sound is produced with the lips closed, while the "o" sound in "ock" is pronounced with the lips slightly rounded. Lastly, the "ck" represents the voiceless velar plosive [k].

SMOCK Meaning and Definition

1. A smock refers to a loose-fitting garment, often made of lightweight fabric, that is worn to cover the upper part of the body. It typically extends from the shoulders down to the hips or thighs, and may have a tunic-like appearance. Smocks are commonly used as protective clothing in various professional settings or worn as a comfortable garment for leisure activities.

   Historically, smocks were originally designed as work attire, worn primarily by artists, craftsmen, and manual laborers to protect their clothing from dirt, paint, or other unwanted substances. They were characterized by their loose and flowing silhouette, usually gathered at the neck and wrists. Over time, the design of smocks has evolved to cater to different purposes and aesthetics, making them popular for both practical and fashionable purposes.

   In contemporary usage, the term "smock" has broadened to include a wide range of styles, fabrics, and designs. It can refer to anything from a simple, utilitarian smock worn by a painter to a more elaborately embroidered or decorated version worn as a fashion statement. Smocks may feature various closures like buttons or ties, and can be plain or adorned with pockets, ruffles, or other embellishments. The versatility and comfort offered by smocks have made them a popular choice for casual wear, maternity clothing, or as part of certain traditional costumes.

2. A woman's under garment; a shift.

Etymology of SMOCK

The word "smock" has a Middle English origin, derived from the Old English word "smoc", which meant a loose garment or tunic worn by both men and women. The Old English word "smoc" itself can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*smukkōną", which meant a shift or undergarment. The term ultimately comes from the Proto-Indo-European root "*smek-", which conveyed the idea of covering or enveloping. This root is also responsible for the words "smock", "smock frock", or "smock-frock" in several other European languages.
