† ployk, pluyk Sc. Obs.
[Etymology obscure: early Sc. ployk, pluyk, for plōk, plūk, corresponds phonetically to a mod.Sc. pluik, and ME. *plōk, ploke, mod. *plook, OE. type *plóc: but no trace of corresp. Eng. forms has been found. Gael. ploc, genitive pluic, block of wood, stump of a tree, club or bludgeon with a round or large head, is evidently the same word, and, if from Lowland Sc. or Eng., might represent Eng. block, ME. blok, but this with its short o would not give ployk, pluik in Sc.]
A club, bludgeon.
