# fok
## Afrikaans
### Pronunciation

* IPA: /fɔk/
* Audio:(file)
* Hyphenation: fok
* Rhymes: -ɔk

### Etymology 1

From Dutch fok, from Middle Dutch focke, further origin unclear. Possibly from the verb vocken (“to blow”), itself of uncertain origin, perhaps related to Faroese fokka (“jib”), though this could have been a reverse borrowing. Both of these could be from Proto-Germanic *fuk(k)ōn- (“to blow”), from Proto-Indo-European *pug-néh₂-.

#### Noun

fok (plural fokke, diminutive fokkie)
* (nautical) A foresail

##### Related terms

* fokseil

### Etymology 2

From Dutch fokken, from Middle Dutch focken, vocken, from Old Dutch *fokken, possibly of Scandinavian/North Germanic origin (compare Norwegian fukka, Swedish fokka), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *fukkōną. Likely related to German ficken. The pejorative senses and usage are semantic loans of English fuck.

    Synonym: teel
