jock · school athlete
nOne whole side of jock is a long word cut short. The long word here is jockstrap — the piece of kit that sits in a player's bag with the shoes and the towel. Say the kit often enough and it starts to stand for the person wearing it: the jock is the athlete. Around that person a whole school picture gathers — the table where the team sits, the uniform, and the old joke that a big body comes with a small brain. Running alongside is a second short word, jockey, the rider up on top of something, steering it: that one gives the jock who rides the records at a radio station.
From the word’s history
The packet's Wiktionary note says the athletic slang meanings date from the mid-20th century and are simple abbreviations of jockstrap, while the computer slang meanings come from jockey.
依證據包裡的 Wiktionary 詞源說明：運動方面的俚語是二十世紀中期出現的，就是 jockstrap 的縮短；而電腦圈的俚語則是從 jockey 來的。所以這一支底下其實有兩條小路，一條從護具，一條從騎師。

jock · Scotsman
nThe other side of jock starts as somebody's name. Jock is the Scottish way of saying Jack, and Jack is a way of saying John — about as ordinary as a man's name gets. English speakers then did what people often do with a very common name: they used it for a type of person instead of for one person. So this jock is a name lifted off one man and laid across a whole country. That is also why it is uncomfortable. A nickname given by a friend sits lightly; the same nickname handed to a stranger because of where he is from usually does not.
From the word’s history
From Jock, a Scottish hypocoristic (pet) form of John, compare Jack; the capitalised name is still visible under the common noun.
來自 Jock，也就是 John 在蘇格蘭的暱稱形式，可以跟 Jack 對照。人名的痕跡到今天還看得見——這個意思常常寫成大寫的 Jock。
