Derived from Mawk–a maggot. If something is “mawkit” it is (literally) crawling with “mawks” or maggots.
Hello. Recently read a book “A Small Death in the Great Glen” by A. D. Scott, which was full of Scottish words — of which I made a list. Grew up in Scotland, though lived in Australia for the last 50 odd years. Surprised at how many of these words were charmingly familiar. Here’s the list, minus the eleven that already appear in your list of 28. Yours Aye. Donald.
