Kedlock. A name which under various forms is applied primarily 
to those cruciferous plants which rank under the general name of 
Charlock, with which name it does not appear to have much connec- 
tion. In a secondary sense it applies to several of the UmbelhfercE, 
plants in every respect totally different from the Charlocks. Kedlock 
and Ketlock may be connected with Kadle-dock and Kettle-dock, 
names occasionally given to Anthriscus sylvestris, Hoffin. (see Dock, 
Kadle and Dock, Kettle (2) ; and the form Kellock, abbreviated 
into Kelk, may connect the name with Keck and Kex).
