/kə(ʊ)ˈkɛtɪŋ/, U.S.

/koʊˈkɛdɪŋ/

Forms: 1600s cockating, 1600s cocketing, 1600s– coqueting, 1700s– coquetting.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: coquette n., coquet n., coquet v., -ing suffix².

Etymology: In early use apparently < either coquette n. or coquet n. (although this is first attested later) + -ing suffix². In later use < coquet v. + -ing suffix².The forms cockating and cocketing shown by quot. 1657 appear to show the same word (alternative analyses as showing a formation related to for instance cocket adj. or cocket v.³ seem less likely on semantic grounds), but they are remarkably early compared with other words in this group (especially as they here designate garments worn by a man not a woman).

Characterized by coquetry; playfully and insincerely flirtatious.
