Etymology 1
[edit]Perhaps from Gothic *rukka, *𐍂𐌿𐌺𐌺𐌰 (*rukka); or, given its open stressed vowel, rather from a West Germanic cognate of it (compare Old High German rocko),[1] from Proto-Germanic *rukkô. Cognate with Portuguese roca and Spanish rueca.
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]roca f (plural rocas)

- Synonyms: galleta, ruxideira
- En cada terra seu uso, en cada roca seu fuso.(proverb)

- 1775, María Francisca Isla y Losada, Romance:
- Polo fio d'unha roca

é cortafeira coideiche
que acababa de finar.- By the thread of a distaff
my stomach is going away,
and Wednesday I though
that I had just died.
- By the thread of a distaff
- 1889, Xulio Alonso Sánchez, O Chufón:
- Ó redor da lareira, na cuciña da casa máis chea do logar de Outeiro, xunta estaba a familia. O patrón sentado no escano cos pés fóra e por riba das zocas, quentábase, ó mesmo tempo que, cun forquito bandexaba os toxos, que dempois metía pra debaixo do caldeiro; a muller, sentada no chan, partía os cachelos pró caldo, ia herdeira, filla úneca daquel xuntoiro e xoia daquela casa, fiaba na roca os cerros, prá tea do ano.
- The family was reunited around the hearth, in the kitchen of the fullest house of the hamlet of Outeiro. The head of the household was sitting on the bench, his feet out and on the clogs, warming while he was shaking the furzes with a poke before placing them under the cauldron; the wife, sitting on the ground, was snapping the potatoes for the broth, and the heir, only child of that union and that home's jewel, was spinning the flax on the distaff, for the year's cloth.

Etymology 1
[edit]Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *rukkô, although the intermediate language is uncertain. Possibly Gothic rukka, 𐍂𐌿𐌺𐌺𐌰 (rukka), however, the vowel quality in Iberian Romance (/ɔ/ in Portuguese, /we/ in Spanish) points to a possible West Germanic loanword,[1] or to the influence of Latin rota (“wheel”).[2] Cognate to Galician roca, Spanish rueca, Italian rocca, Old High German rocko (German Rocken).[3]
