Etymology 1

From Dutch fok, from Middle Dutch focke, further origen unclear. Possibly from the verb vocken (“to blow”), itself of uncertain origen, 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)

1. (nautical) A foresail

Etymology 2

From Dutch fokken, from Middle Dutch focken, vocken, from Old Dutch *fokken, possibly of Scandinavian/North Germanic origen (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.
