The verb ‘sock’ has two distinct meanings: a heavy blow and a blow or thrust by which a weapon enters the body. A number of Old Norse examples (from Egils saga, Snorra Edda and Völsunga saga) show that ON ‘sökkva’ is used where a sword sinks (‘sökkur’) into an opponent’s body. The English verb likely derives from ON ‘sökkva’; further evidence for this can be found in dialectal words in the Shetland and Orkney Islands.
