Etymology

1. From heim + kok. The first part him is a dialectal form of heim (“home”), from Old Norse heima, genitive indefinite plural form of heimr (“realm, region, village, home”), from Proto-Germanic *haimaz (“home, house, village”); ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱóymos (“village, home”).
2. The second part is related to the verb koke (“to boil”), from German Low German koken (“cook”) and late Proto-Germanic *kukōną (“cook”); the latter was borrowed from Latin coquō (“to cook, prepare food”), ultimately from the root *pekʷ- (“to cook, become ripe”). See: Old Norse Nouns 'heima', Latin Nouns 'coquō'.
