/bɔːk//bɔːk/The word "balk" has roots in Old English, originating from the word "balc," which meant "ridge" or "beam." Over time, the meaning evolved to describe a raised piece of land, often in a field. This then transitioned to referring to a sudden stop or hesitation, like a horse refusing to cross a raised obstacle. The word's journey further evolved to describe a refusal or obstruction, ultimately leading to its current meaning of stopping short, refusing to proceed, or hindering progress.
