"发出鸭叫声; 发出刺耳、平淡的嘎嘎声",1610年代,早期为 quake(14世纪晚期),变体为 quelke(14世纪早期),均为拟声词(比较荷兰语 quacken,古教会斯拉夫语 kvakati,拉丁语 coaxare “发出嘎嘎声”,希腊语 koax “青蛙的嘎嘎声”,赫梯语 akuwakuwash “青蛙”)。
在乔叟的同一行中,各种早期版本将其写作 quake 、quakke 、quak 、quat。频繁形式 quackle 可追溯至1560年代。中古英语 on the quakke(14世纪)意为“嘶哑、嘎嘎作响”。"(1650年代)的“大声、炫耀地谈论或宣传”的意义可能受到 quack(n.1)的影响。相关: Quacked; quacking。
