## AI Etymology
Candock is a compound, likely of can (referring to the can-shaped seed vessel or the plant's reedy form, ultimately Latin canna 'reed') and dock (the plant name, from Old English docce). The historical trail runs through docce in Old English. Used as a noun, candock now means "a water lily or pondweed, especially the yellow water lily", so the present definition can be read against the older forms and meanings. The result is a borrowed or transmitted form whose modern spelling carries a compact record of its route into English.
