Italian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Uncertain. Several theories exist. Possibly from a central-northern Italian word (cf. cocón) ultimately derived from Latin calcāre (“to press”),[1][2] or from a derivative of Latin caucus, from Ancient Greek káukē.[3] Alternatively, from a corchiume, related to Spanish corcho (cf. English cork), from Latin cortex.[4]
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
cocchiume m (plural cocchiumi)
