Built from
From Proto-Tai *C̬.nokᴰ (“bird”). Cognate with Northern Thai ᨶᩫ᩠ᨠ (nok), Lao ນົກ (nok), Tai Dam ꪶꪙꪀ, Lü ᦷᦓᧅ (nok), Shan ၼူၵ်ႉ (nṵ̂uk), Ahom 𑜃𑜤𑜀𑜫 (nuk), Bouyei rog, Nong Zhuang noag, Zhuang roeg, Saek น็อก. Compare Proto-Be *nukᴰ² (“bird”), Proto-Austronesian *manuk (“bird; chicken”), Proto-Hmong-Mien *m-nɔk (“bird”). The "lock of a firearm" sense is likely a semantic extension of the "bird" sense, due to its resemblance to a bird's mouth. For a semantic parallel in an unrelated language, compare English cock.
