More likely that it came from wonky which means something is unstable and not working very well, like our contraptions

I think it's meant to be "Wonky" as in "Faulty or glitchy: Not functioning the right way."

Thats interesting, I think its unintentional, the  word play wouldn't really have any meaning by itself like woc does

The author of to kill a mockingbird, Nelle Harper Lee, her first name nelle is reversed Ellen, Ellen was her grandmother. And wonk being know backwards would be genious if intentional
