Comoquer

/ˌkoʊmoʊˈkɛr/ verb

Definition

An archaic or dialectal term meaning to joke, banter, or speak mockingly together.

Etymology

From com- (together) plus an old root related to coquet or mock. Extremely rare, possibly from French influence on Middle English.

Kelly Says

This word is so archaic that tracking it down requires diving into Middle English texts—it's a ghost of how people once described witty back-and-forth conversation in a way that's completely vanished from modern speech!
