Etymology 1

From Middle English noke, nok (�nook, corner, angle�), of uncertain origin. Cognate with Scots neuk, nuk (�corner, angle of a square, angular object�).

If so, then also related to Scots nok (�small hook�), Norwegian dialectal nok, nokke (�hook, angle, bent object�), Danish nokke (�hook�), Swedish nock (�ridge�), Faroese nokki (�crook�), Icelandic hnokki (�hook�), Dutch nok (�ridge�), Low German Nocke (�tip�), Old Norse hn�ka (�to bend, crouch�), Old English ?ehnycned (�drawn, pinched, wrinkled�).
