Etymology

1. From Middle French roc (15th c.), ultimately from Latin rocca, hence doublet of roche.
2. The Trésor informatisé considers it a “masculine form” of the latter, but the derivation is dubious, unless it were from a dialect with preserved /k/ (such as Picard or Occitan). See: Latin Nouns 'rocca'.
