From the word’s history
From Middle English socke, from Old English socc, borrowed from Latin soccus 'a light shoe or slipper'.
源自古英文 socc,借自拉丁文 soccus「輕便的鞋」。
You can picture one soft, tube pulled over a foot, hidden inside a shoe. That everyday thing carries most of the word — including a set of very physical built straight out of it: pulling socks up before you get going, socks blown off by a shock, a sock stuffed in to stop noise. A separate, unrelated 'sock' means to hit someone hard.
