marlockn.1

Brit. /ˈmɑːlək/, U.S. /ˈmɑrlək/
Forms: 1700s– marlock, 1800s– maalack, 1800s– mailock, 1800s– mairlock, 1800s– malack, 1800s– malak, 1800s– malech, 1800s– malek, 1800s– marlak, 1800s– marlake, 1800s– marluk, 1800s– maylak, 1800s– maylock, 1800s– morlock.
Origin: Of unknown origin.
Etymology: Origin unknown. Compare marlock v. (not attested so early, although this may be accidental).With some of the forms of the second syllable perhaps compare lake n.2, although identity with this word would make the majority of the forms difficult to explain; perhaps compare also rollock , variant of rollick v., and German frohlocken (see frolic v.).
English regional (northern).
A prank, a practical joke; a frolic; a playful gesture; a flirtatious glance.
