A dialectal or archaic term for a small amount or a trifling thing; possibly related to diminution.
Possibly from dim + -ock (a diminutive suffix), though the etymology is uncertain. This appears as a regional or folkloric term with limited documented usage.
Dimmock is so obscure that even historical dictionaries have trouble pinning down its exact meaning—it's a reminder that language has thousands of forgotten regional words that once had meaning to communities now lost to time.
