"etymology_text": "Refers (by synecdoche) to the typical pointy nose of Westerners.\nSeveral etymologies have been proposed for tok:\n* 噣, 啄: “beak; to peck with a beak” > “beak-like; pointy”. Compare English beak.\n* 斲: 《台灣話大詞典》 proposes that the word is related to a story in Zhuangzi (“Ghostless Xu”, c. 370 to 301 B.C.E.):\n*:\n郢人堊慢其鼻端若蠅翼，使匠人斲之。匠石運斤成風，聽而斲之，盡堊而鼻不傷，郢人立不失容。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]郢人垩慢其鼻端若蝇翼，使匠人斲之。匠石运斤成风，听而斲之，尽垩而鼻不伤，郢人立不失容。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]\nYǐng rén è màn qí bí duān ruò yíng yì, shǐ jiàngrén zhuó zhī.
