Etymology

From Middle English haddok. Compare Anglo-Norman hadoc from Old French hadot, probably from an English source.[1][2] Further origin uncertain, but hadot could have evolved from (h)adoux, (h)adoz, from adoub, from adouber, adober (“to prepare”), cognate with Italian addobbare (“to souse fish or meat”).[3]

The spelling is usually regarded as a diminutive in -ok (see -ock).
