Word Origin & History

tucker

"piece of lace worn around the neck," 1688, from M.E. tokker "tucker, one who dresses or finishes cloth" (see tuck).

tucker

"to tire, weary," 1833, New England slang, of uncertain origin, perhaps from tucked (pp. of tuck (v.)), which had, in ref. to dogs, a slang sense of "exhausted, underfed."
