History
Etymology
See cog (“small boat”).
From cock (“a roundish heap”) + -le (diminutive suffix). Cognate with Swedish koka (“a lump of earth”). Compare also Dutch kogel, German Kugel (“ball”).
Origin obscure. Perhaps from cog (“small boat”) + -le (frequentative suffix), in reference to the rocking or swaying motion of the sea; or perhaps an alteration of cockle (“to move up and down”).
