coaxv.

Brit.

/koʊks/

Forms: 1500s–1700s cokes, 1600s–1700s coaks, (1500s coxe, 1600s coques), 1700s– coax.

Etymology: < cokes n. According to Johnson 1755–73, ‘a low word’, and probably in informal use long before it became usual in literature, which may account for want of literary evidence for the early history of the senses. The original meaning seems to have been ‘make a cokes of’: compare to fool, to pet, to gull; and the transition from ‘make a fool of’ to ‘make a pet of’, is paralleled by the passage of fond from ‘befooled’ to its present sense.

†1. transitive. To make a ‘cokes’ of, befool, impose upon, ‘take in’. Obsolete.
