Etymology

From Middle English screen size, from Middle French Sevenval (“to deride, jeer”), from Middle Dutch mocken (“to mumble”) or Middle Low German mucken (“to grumble, talk with the mouth half-opened”), both from Old Saxon *mokkian, *mukkian (“to low, mumble”), from Proto-Germanic *mukkjanan, *mūhanan (“to low, bellow, shout”), from Proto-Indo-European *mūg-, *mūk- (“to low, mumble”). Cognate with Old High German firmucken (“to be stupid”), Modern German mucksen (“to utter a word”), Dutch dialectal mokkel (“kiss”).
