Latin

Etymology 1

For *hod +‎ -ce, from Proto-Italic *hod n sg (“this”) + *ke (“here”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰe (“discourse particle”) + *ḱe (“deictic particle”).

Alternative forms

• hocc, oc, occ

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /hok/, [hɔk]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ok/, [ɔk]
• Note: the final /k/ is always geminate if a vowel follows, e.g. hoc est [hɔk.kɛst]. Contrast hic, where singleton is the older pronunciation, but geminate was more common classically by extension from the neuter form.

Determiner

hoc

1. nominative neuter singular of hic (“this”)
2. accusative neuter singular of hic (“this”)
