Here's the most probable origin of 'Canuck' and it is not a derogatory word:
חָנַךְ
It's the Hebrew word (Strong's #2596) which means to 'train up' and 'to dedicate'. It seems rather appropriate as I studied my beautiful 'Jovanovski Canuck Jersey #55' after completing 55 years of life that I search the Scriptures to find the closest Hebrew audible link to 'Canuck'.
My 'above average' answer to the question 'Where did the term Canuck originate?' is much better than 'I don't know and I don't care.'
