词源

Coined by 1962, likely derived from Low German geck (“to mock, cackle”) from related terms such as German gackern (“to cackle”) and German keckern (“to make angry noises [of an animal]”). The same call types had previously been referred to as types of keckern in German publications. Possibly also onomatopoeic from “ik, ik, ik.”
