[සංස්කරණය]

From මධ්‍යකාලීන ඉංග්‍රීසි forke (“digging fork”), from පුරාතන ඉංග්‍රීසි force, forca (“forked instrument used to torture”), from ප්‍රොටෝ-බටහිර ජර්මානු *furkō (“fork”), from ලතින් furca (“pitchfork, forked stake; gallows, beam, stake, support post, yoke”), of uncertain origin. The මධ්‍යකාලීන ඉංග්‍රීසි word was later reinforced by ඇන්ග්ලෝ-නෝමන්, Old Northern French forque (= පුරාතන ප්‍රංශ forche whence ප්‍රංශ fourche), also from the Latin. Cognate also with North Frisian forck (“fork”), ඕලන්ද vork (“fork”), ඩෙන්මාර්ක fork (“fork”), ජර්මානු Forke (“pitchfork”). Displaced native gafol, ġeafel, ġeafle (“fork”), from පුරාතන ඉංග්‍රීසි.

In its primary sense of සැකිල්ල:m-g, ලතින් furca appears to be derived from ප්‍රොටෝ-ඉන්දු-යුරෝපීය *ǵʰerk(ʷ)-, *ǵʰerg(ʷ)- (“fork”), although the development of the -c- is difficult to explain. In other senses this derivation is unlikely. For these, perhaps it is connected to ප්‍රොටෝ-ජර්මානු *furkaz, *firkalaz (“stake, stick, pole, post”), from ප්‍රොටෝ-ඉන්දු-යුරෝපීය *perg- (“pole, post”). If so, this would relate the word to පුරාතන ඉංග්‍රීසි forclas pl (“bolt”), Old Saxon ferkal (“lock, bolt, bar”), Old Norse forkr (“pole, staff, stick”), නෝර්වීජියානු fork (“stick, bat”), ස්වීඩන් fork (“pole”).
