Usage Examples

Etymology

The French noun **dock** is a borrowing from English, first recorded in the late 19th century. English *dock* comes from Middle English (c. 1400) via Middle Dutch *dok*, meaning a small building or harbor structure for ships. Thus the French term traces back to the Old Low German *dokke* (Proto‑Germanic *dekko‑*) and entered French through the maritime vocabulary of the 19th century.
