Correct spelling for the English word "Meacock" is [mˈiːkɒk], [mˈiːkɒk], [m_ˈiː_k_ɒ_k] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
The word "meacock" is believed to have originated from Middle English, specifically from the combination of two root words: "me" and "cock".
The term "me" in Middle English referred to "meekness" or "timidity". It derived from Old English "mǣge", which meant "weak" or "feeble".
"Cock" in this context likely comes from the Old English word "cocc", which denoted a male bird, primarily a rooster. Over time, the word "cock" expanded to include the sense of masculinity, courage, or boldness.
Thus, "meacock" can be seen as a compound of "me" (meek or timid) and "cock" (masculinity or boldness), implying a man who is lacking in assertiveness or bravery.
