Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Cockle - is a word derived from the Latin word Conchylium meaning Conch or Shell. (Biologically any of a family (Cardiidae) of marine bivalve mollusks with two heart-shaped, radially ridged shells). Since most shells have a wrinkled surface, cockle also means wrinckle or pucker. When you say " cockles of one's heart " - it means something evoking the deepest feelings or emotions. Cockle is also a type of weed (the corn cockle) Ravin '82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
