moquer
French
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle French mocquer, from Old French moquer, from Middle Dutch mocken (“to mumble”) or Middle Low German mucken (“to grumble, speak with half-opened mouth”), both from Old Saxon *mokkian, *mukkian (“to low, mumble”), from Proto-Germanic *mukkijaną, *mūhaną (“to low, bellow, shout”), from Proto-Indo-European *mūg-, *mūk- (“to low, mumble”).
Cognate with Old High German firmucken (“to be stupid”), Old High German muckazzen (“to speak quietly, say a word”) (Modern German mucksen). More at mock.
