Schock, neuter, ‘shock, heap, threescore,’ from the equivalent Middle High German schoc, masculine; compare Old Saxon scok, ‘threescore,’ Dutch schok, ‘threescore.’ Originally used perhaps only of sixty sheaves; compare Middle High German schocken, ‘to put com in a heap,’ schoche, ‘rick,’ schoc, ‘heap.’ See Stiege.
