Definition
The time early in the morning when a rooster crows, usually used to mean dawn or daybreak.
Etymology
From cock (rooster) + crow (the sound it makes). This Old English compound literally describes the moment a rooster first crows, which historically marked the start of the day before clocks existed.
Kelly Says
In medieval Europe, church bells would ring at cockcrow to wake monks for pre-dawn prayers, making the rooster's call the official time signal for an entire community. This is why you still see roosters in monastery artwork—they were genuinely important timekeeping devices!
