Etymology

**Choc** is a late‑medieval borrowing from Old French *choc*, itself derived from the Germanic root *skōk* “to strike, collide”. The root appears in related words such as German **Schock** and English **shock**, and it entered French as the noun *choc* (15th c.) and the verb *choquer* “to collide”. Its meaning has remained a violent collision or impact from the earliest attestations to the modern usage.
