From Hokkien 國／国 (kok).
Pronunciation
Noun
ก๊ก • (gók)
- (rare) polity, as state, city-state, region, country, etc.
- (slang) group; category; class.
Usage notes
- The sense polity chiefly appears in old literature as a direct transliteration (rather than a translation) of the Chinese word 國／国 (kok). For example, สามก๊ก (sǎam-gók, “Three States”) is a transliteration of 三國／三国 (sam-kok), and ง่อก๊ก (ngɔ̂ɔ-gók, “Wu State”) is a transliteration of 吳國／吴国 (ngô͘-kok).
