Étymologie (Anglais)

Appartenant à néerlandais: hek

In summary

From Middle Low German heck (“wooden fencing”), from Old Saxon *hekki, from Proto-West Germanic *hakkju. The sense “back of a ship” because the position of the helmsman in the stern was enclosed by such a fence. Cognate to Dutch hek, English hatch.
