moquer
From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
French
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.
Pronunciation
