Etymology 1
Probably borrowed from West Flemish hunke (“hunk; chunk”), of obscure origin. Probably from an earlier *humke, *humpke, a diminutive related to Dutch homp (“hunk; lump”), English hump, equivalent to hump +? -kin. The sense of an attractive man is recorded in Australian slang in 1941, in jive talk in 1945.

- (informal) A sexually attractive man, especially one who is muscular.
- (computing) A record of differences between almost contiguous portions of two files (or other sources of information).
