Literature

Cucking-stool (The) or Choking-stool, for ducking scolds, is not connected with choke (to stifle), but the French choquer; hence the archaic verb cuck (to throw), and one still in use, chuck (chuck-farthing). The cucking-stool is the stool which is chucked or thrown into the water.
"Now, if one cucking-stool was for each scold,
Some towns, I fear, would not their numbers
Hold." Poor Robin (1746). Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
