Latin

Etymology 1

From Old Latin hoc, hocc, from *hod-ce, from Proto-Italic *hod, neuter nominative/accusative singular of *ho (“this”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰe + Proto-Indo-European *ḱe (“here”).

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /hok/, [hɔk]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ok/, [ɔk]
• Note: before a vowel, the final [k] is always doubled in poetry, e.g. using Classical pronunciation, hoc est [hɔkk ɛst]. W. Sydney Allen also reports an attested ancient occest. Contrast hic, which can be [hɪk ɛst] or [hɪkk ɛst] in this position.

Determiner

hoc

1. nominative neuter singular of hic
2. accusative neuter singular of hic

Descendants

• Franco-Provençal: o, ouè (from *hoc ille)
• Old French: o, ou, oc, ec, euc, uoc
• Old French: oïl (from *hoc ille), oje (from *hoc ego)
  • French: oui
• Old Occitan: oc
  • Occitan: òc
  • Old Catalan: oc, hoch

Etymology 2

From the neuter ablative singular of hic.

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /hoːk/
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ok/, [ɔk]

Determiner

hōc

1. ablative masculine singular of hic
2. ablative neuter singular of hic
3. (with a comparative, correlative of quod) for this reason, because of this

Etymology 3

According to De Vaan (2008), from a masculine singular instrumental of Proto-Indo-European *gʰi-ḱe (“this, here”). Contrast Latin hūc, which is probably from the locative instead.

Adverb

hōc (not comparable)

1. hither, to this place

   Synonyms: hūc, hōrsum
