oca (1) f. (Noun) "goose" 17th cent. The first written attestation of the word is in the name juego de la oca "Game of the Goose," a board game created around the 16th cent. and popular throughout Europe. Given the late attestation in writing; the lack of oca-words in nearby Asturian, Portuguese and Galician; and that an older word for goose was pato (1); it is possible the word is not native but was borrowed from Catalan oca. Ultimately from Vulgar Latin *auca 'id.,' a syncope of earlier *avica "goose" (but lit. "little bird"), from Latin avis "bird" (see ave) and the diminutive suffix -ica (see -ico).
