Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English forke (digging fork), from Old English force, forca (forked instrument used to torture), from *furkō (fork), from Latin furca, of uncertain origin. The word was later reinforced by -, forque (= forche whence fourche), also from the Latin. fourche furcate. Cognate also with forck, vork, fork, Forke. Displaced native gafol, ġeafel, ġeafle (fork), from.
