Origin

Early 20th century: of unknown origin. Perhaps from Arabic makwa, a noun of place, from kawā, 'to press (clothes)', associated with Egyptian clothes-pressing establishments during the First World War, and from there used by New Zealand soldiers.

  • The phrase to put the mockers on, ‘to put an end to, thwart’, is originally Australian. It dates from the early 20th century and may come from Yiddish make ‘sore, plague’, or be the same word as mocker (Late Middle English) meaning ‘someone who mocks’. Another Antipodean mocker, meaning ‘clothes, dress’, was brought back from Egypt by New Zealand troops after the First World War. It is based on Egyptian Arabic makwagi ‘presser of clothes’-in Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries there are clothes-pressing establishments with changing rooms where people can shed the outfits they are wearing and have them pressed. Mock (Late Middle English) meaning ‘to make fun of’ is a quite different word, from Old French mocquer ‘to ridicule’.
