Noun

IPA: /tuːk/ [Canada], /tjuːk/ [Canada] Audio: en-ca-toque.ogg [Canada] Forms: toques [plural]
Rhymes: -uːk Etymology: 1871. Assimilated from Canadian French tuque. Likely to be a hypercorrection from the time that toque was already in the dictionaries when they did not yet list tuque as a kind of hat. The French word tuque for hat is itself not strictly a deformation of French toque: it is also related to other meanings of tuque and to its former name bonnet à la turque (lit. Turkish-style bunnet/cap). Etymology templates: {{bor|en|fr-CA|tuque}} Canadian French tuque, {{glossary|hypercorrection}} hypercorrection, {{m|en|toque}} toque, {{m|en|tuque}} tuque, {{m|fr|tuque}} tuque, {{m|fr|toque}} toque Head templates: {{en-noun}} toque (plural toques)
  1. (Canada) A knitted hat, usually conical but of varying shape, often woollen, and sometimes topped by a pom-pom or tassel. Tags: Canada Categories (topical): Headwear Synonyms: beanie, knit cap, stocking cap, watch cap, tuque [Canada] Related terms: winter hat, winter toque, wool hat
