From LoveToKnow 1911

ROCK (O.Fr. coke, Sp. roca, Ital. rocca; possibly from a Lat. form rupica, from rupes, rock), in geology a mass of the mineral matter of which the crust of the earth is composed (see Petrology and Geology). .In more general usage a "rock" is a large mass of this mineral matter, as distinguished from smaller pieces which are termed "stones."^ Rock really has crumbled down into a mass-produced festival of generic garbage.

 ^ It gave a slightly new generation a look at a piece of music that rocked but was only heard in certain circles.
  • Saving rock 'n' roll – The Marquee Blog - CNN.com Blogs 14 January 2010 20:020 UTC marquee.blogs.cnn.com [Source type: General]

 From this word must be distinguished the verb "to rock," to swing an object to and fro, particularly of a cradle in which a child is rocked to sleep, the original meaning. The O.Eng. word is roccian, and is cognate with many words in Teutonic languages, e.g. Du. rukkea, Dan. rykke, Ger. riicken, to pull, tug, push.

It ought to be translated "rock," as in Hab. 1:12 in the Revised Version. .The "rock" from which the stone is cut there signifies the divine origin of Christ.^ There is only one “Christian rock” and “THAT ROCK WAS CHRIST” (1st Corinthians 10:4).

 ^ The credit for the origination of today's blatantly Satanic "heavy metal rock," goes to the English group, the Rolling Stones.
