Variant of chock.

From Middle English chuk, of onomatopoeic origin, imitative of a hen's cluck.

From earlier chock, likely imitative, but perhaps also from Middle English chokken (“to thrust, pierce, cram”), from Picard Old French chuquier (“to collide, strike”, intransitive verb), from Middle Dutch schocken (“to bump, shake”). Doublet of shock and shuck.

From woodchuck.

From chuck (“to toss”).

Clipping of nunchuck, variant of nunchaku.

From Middle English chukken, from the noun (see above).
