Word origin

From Middle English noke, nok (“nook, corner, angle”), of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Old English hnoc, hnocc (“hook, angle”), from Proto-Germanic *hnukkaz, *hnukkô (“a bend”), from Proto-Indo-European *knewg- (“to turn, press”), from Proto-Indo-European *ken- (“to pinch, press, bend”).

Used in a sentence

  • There was a small broom for sweeping ash kept in the nook between the fireplace bricks and the wall.
  • The back of the used book shop was one of her favorite nooks; she could read for hours and no one would bother her or pester her to buy.
