Origin

Mid 16th century: from French choc (noun), choquer (verb), of unknown origin. The original senses were 'throw (troops) into confusion by charging at them' and 'an encounter between charging forces', giving rise to the notion of 'sudden violent blow or impact'.

The shock that now means ‘a sudden upsetting event or experience’ came from French choc in the mid 16th century with the sense ‘an encounter between two charging forces or jousters’, and in English it started life as a military term. Shocking meaning ‘very bad’ is first found at the end of the 18th century, in a collection of letters called The Paget Papers: ‘Shocking Weather since you left’. A modern short, sharp shock is likely to be a brief but harsh custodial sentence imposed on offenders in an attempt to discourage them from committing further offences. At the Conservative Party Conference in 1979 the then Home Secretary William Whitelaw had proposed this as a form of corrective treatment for young offenders. He was quoting from The Mikado (1885) by Gilbert and Sullivan: ‘Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, / From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block.’ An unkempt or thick shock of hair probably did not get its name from its shock value. The word originally referred to a dog with long shaggy hair—the poodle was a typical shock dog, though the term is long obsolete. It may be the same as earlier shough, a lapdog said to have originated in Iceland. Shakespeare in Macbeth wrote of ‘spaniels, curs, shoughs’.
