roquetn.²

Brit.

/ˈrəʊki/,

/ˈrəʊkeɪ/, U.S.

/roʊˈkeɪ/

Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: croquet n.

Etymology: Apparently an arbitrary alteration of croquet n.Alternatively, the form may have arisen by misapprehension of the word boundaries in the phrases to take croquet or to make croquet , although neither seems common in early discussions of the game. It is not certain that the present word and croquet n. 2 were always clearly distinguished in early use; in quot. 1859 roquet appears to be used in the sense of croquet , as it may also be in quot. 1866 (compare quot. 1969 for the modern distinction between the terms); compare also early uses at roquet v. Compare the following comment on early confusion between the two terms:1866 Beadle's Monthly Aug. 219/1 People frequently confuse between roquet and croquet, evidently not understanding what a roquet means...Croquet is taken in this way. The striker places his ball in contact with the one roqueted, and strikes his own with the mallet.

Croquet.

An act of hitting another ball with one's own; a stroke resulting in this, entitling the player to croquet the ball he or she has hit.
