Olykoek (noun)
ol-ee-kook
A donut.
Olykoek has its origins in the now-extinct New York dialect of Dutch. Dutch is related to English, therefore it’s no surprise that Dutch olie and koek resemble their English cognates oil and cake. Olykoek was first recorded in English at the turn of the 19th century.
