I bet you never gave it much thought, but the word "yolk" is derived from an Old English word meaning what?

So know you know! And it makes sense. Yolk comes from the Old English word "geolca" or "geoloca," which means "the yellow part". Those words in turn are derived from 'geolu' which means 'yellow'. It was also originally spelled "yelk" not "yolk".
