HOCKED Meaning and
Definition
-
Hocked, as a verb, refers to the act of pawning or pledging an item of value, usually in exchange for a loan or cash. When someone is in a financial bind and in need of immediate funds, they may opt to hock a possession to a pawnbroker or pawnshop. This transaction involves temporarily giving up possession of the item to the pawnbroker, who lends a sum of money based on the estimated value of the item. The borrower has the option to repurchase the item within a specified period by reimbursing the loan amount plus interest. However, if the borrower fails to reclaim the item within the given timeframe, the pawnbroker has the right to sell it to recover their money.
The concept of hocking is prevalent in many cultures and is likely one of the oldest forms of lending. It serves as a means for individuals to obtain small loans quickly without needing good credit or lengthy application processes. Jewelry, electronic devices, musical instruments, and other valuable items are commonly hocked. Additionally, hocking can also refer to the act of using an item, such as jewelry, as collateral for a loan from a pawnbroker. Overall, hocking serves as a temporary solution for those facing short-term financial difficulties who possess items of value that can be used as collateral.
