Origin:
The word "brock" is derived from the Proto-Germanic word *brukkaz, which meant "badger." The name was given to the animal due to its brownish-gray fur, which resembles the color of mud.
The word was also used to refer to small streams or brooks, as badgers are often found near water sources. Over time, the meaning of "brock" shifted from specifically denoting a badger to also encompassing small waterways.
