Etymology

From Middle French mocquer, from Old French moquer, from Middle Dutch mocken ‎(“to mumble”) or Middle Low German mucken ‎(“to grumble, speak with half-opened mouth”), both from Old Saxon *mokkian, *mukkian ‎(“to low, mumble”), from Proto-Germanic *mukkijaną, *mūhaną ‎(“to low, bellow, shout”), from Proto-Indo-European *mūg-, *mūk- ‎(“to low, mumble”). Cognate with Old High German firmucken ‎(“to be stupid”), Old High German muckazzen ‎(“to speak quietly, say a word”) (Modern German mucksen). More at mock.
