Where this word comes from
Inherited from Old Swedish munker, from Old Norse munkr, from Old English munuc. In pastry sense; debated. According to some a comparison with the tonsure of medieval monks. According to others, and more probable according to historian Harrison, a comparison to the bodily roundness of monks. In printing error sense; borrowed from German Mönch (“monk”), comparing the lighter patches with the tonsure of monks.
