Definition
A German or Dutch word for a cover, blanket, or deck (appears in English primarily as a borrowed term or proper noun).
Etymology
From German/Dutch decke, related to English 'deck.' This is a borrowed Germanic word relating to coverings or upper surfaces.
Kelly Says
English borrowed 'deck' from Low German/Dutch through maritime trade—sailors needed lots of words for boat parts, so 'decke' (deck/covering) became fundamental to nautical vocabulary!
