Coock vs. Cook: The Correct Spellings

The word "cook" has several other forms, including "cooked," "cooking," and "cooks."

A mnemonic trick to remember the correct spelling is to consider that you cook on a stove with four burners, and "cook" has four letters. The word is as simple as the basic act of cooking itself.

The correct spelling is "cook," not "coock." The word "cook" is derived from the Old English "coc," which in turn comes from the Latin "coquus." The incorrect spelling "coock" may result from overcomplicating a straightforward word, or perhaps it's a simple typographical error.
