Etymology[edit]
From Middle Low German hȫker (“peddler”), perhaps from Old High German huchan (“to crouch, sit bent forward”), from Proto-Germanic *hūkan- (“to squat”), from *hūkkan-, back-formed from the iterative *huk(k)ōn-, from Proto-Indo-European *kuk-néh₂, from *kewk- (“to curve, bend”) (also the source of English high).[1]
Compare Danish høker, German Höker, English hawker. According to SO attested since 1640.
