Etymology 1

Of uncertain origin, but apparently an extension (with formative -k) of Middle English chine, from Old English ċine (a crack, chine, chink), equivalent to chine +‎ -k.

Alternatively, the -k may represent an earlier unrecorded diminutive, perhaps from Middle English *chinek, making it equivalent to chine +‎ -ock (diminutive ending).
