Tucket can be found most notably in the stage directions of several of William Shakespeare's plays. In
King Lear,
for example, a tucket sounds to alert the Earl of Gloucester of the
arrival of the Duke of Cornwall (Act II, Scene i).
The word
tucket likely derives from the obsolete English verb
tuk, meaning "to beat the drum" or "to sound the trumpet." These days, the word
fanfare
itself refers to a sounding of trumpets made, for example, in
celebration or to alert one of another's arrival. The presence of
fanfare might be the reason that
tucket is rarely used in contemporary English.
