† inhoc, -hok(e, n. Obs. rare.
[Of obscure formation. Known only in Lat. charters, where it is also freq. latinized as inhoka, inhokium. Kennett conjectures for hoc, hok, the sense of Du. hoek (MDu. and MLG. hôk) ‘corner, angle’; but this is not otherwise evidenced in ME. If, however, the term inheche is etymologically related, the second element is app. OE. hóc ‘hook’, in same sense.]
A term applied in Middle English times to a piece of land (temporarily) inclosed from the fallow and put under cultivation; an inclosure (of this description).
See, as to the use of the term, Vinogradoff Villainage in England (1892) 226–8, Kennett Paroch. Antiq. Glossary s.v. Kennett's explanation is ‘any corner or out-part of a common field ploughed up and sowed (and sometimes fenced off) within that year wherein the rest of the same field lay fallow. It is now called..in Oxfordshire a hitching.’ But the notion of a corner or out-part appears to have no other foundation than Kennett's conjectured derivation.

Hence † inhok(e v. (in L. form inhōkāre), to inclose and put under crop (part of a fallow).
