Where does “hock” come from?
I notice this chain contains circular references and inconsistencies that make it impossible to write an accurate etymology sentence. The chain lists "English hack," "English hatch," and "English sack" multiple times in what appears to be a malformed sequence, and it doesn't clearly show how "hock" derives from these elements.
Could you provide:
1. A clarified chain showing the actual etymological path to "hock"
2. The meaning of "hock" that should be explained
3. Confirmation of which languages are actually involved
I'm happy to write the sentence once the chain is corrected.
