Syllable Decomposition
bicoqueborrowed from Italian, either through the place name la bicocca, where a battle was fought in 1522 and where the French were defeated by the imperialists, or from the same word as a common noun, bicocca ("small fort") attested in Italian and medieval Latin. Beyond that, the word is of obscure origin.
