Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English huske, husk (husk). Perhaps from Old English *husuc, *hosuc (little covering, sheath), diminutive of hosu (pod, shell, husk), from *hosā, from Proto-Germanic *husǭ (covering, shell, leggings), from Proto-Indo-European *kawəs- / kawes- (cover). If so, equivalent to hose + -ock.
