Etymology

Coquillage comes from coquille “shell”, which in turn comes from Latin *cochlea* (borrowed from Greek *kōkhlē* “snail, shell”). In Middle French, the collective suffix –age was added (14th‑15th c.) to form a noun meaning a collection or assortment of shells, hence the modern meaning “empty shells of molluscs or other marine animals.”
