hunkn.¹

Brit.

/hʌŋk/, U.S.

/həŋk/

Etymology: Known only since the 19th cent., and not frequent in literature before 1850. It is identical in form and sense with West Flemish hunke (een hunke brood of vleesch a hunk of bread or meat; eene hunke aan den bedelaar geven to give a hunk to the beggar: De Bo Westvl. Idiotikon 1892). Franck would connect this with Dutch honk , hunk n.²; but the connection of sense is not obvious.

a. A large piece cut off (e.g. from a loaf, cheese, etc.); a thick or clumsy piece, a lump; a hunch.
