"Block" meaning in German

See Block in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /blɔk/ Audio: De-Block.ogg
Etymology: From Middle High German bloc, from Old High German bloc. The more common Middle High German form was originally bloch, from Old High German bloh. The variant prevailed in modern German under the reinforcing influence of Middle Low German block. All from Proto-West Germanic *blokk, from Proto-Germanic *blukką. The architectural sense is loaned from English block (and may therefore take a plural in -s).

The variant prevailed in modern German under the reinforcing influence of Middle Low German block. All from Proto-West Germanic *blokk, from Proto-Germanic *blukką.\nThe architectural sense is loaned from English block (and may therefore take a plural in -s).",
