Inflections: Plural Mokos, unchanged.

Forms: 1700s Moca, 1700s– Moco, 1900s– Mocko, 1900s– Mocoe, 1900s– Moko. In senses 2 and 3 also with lower-case initial.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps from proper names. Etymons: proper name Moko, Mboko.

Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps a blend of Moko, the name of a people of Cameroon, and Mboko, a name in south-eastern Nigeria (e.g. in Kalabari) for the Ibibio (attested in the form Mokko in 1777).‘I suggest that there are two different words; Moko with [o], referring to various Cameroon Bantu peoples, which..was probably carried from Calabar to the West Indies (since the Jamaican form has [o]) and then back to Sierra Leone, and Mboko (or Moko ) with [ɔ], referring to the Lower Cross peoples, of whom the Ibibio are the largest...Since the two words refer to peoples who are adjacent along the coast, they were confused by the slave-traders, leading to the wide range of reference noted.’ (K. Williamson, personal communication, January 2002). See also note at sense 1. Dict. Caribbean Eng. Usage (1996) 385/1 and F. G. Cassidy & R. B. Le Page Dict. Jamaican Eng. (1967) 303/1 also record senses with negative or derogatory meanings (which are apparently the source of moko in moko jumby n.); these may derive from sense 1 (see the negative connotations associated with the Moko reported in quots. 1774 at sense 1, 1793 at sense 1, and 1843 at sense 1).

1. A member of a people originating from southern Nigeria and other areas of West Africa, esp. one transported as a slave to the Caribbean.

Jamaican Eng. (1967) 302/2).
