Definition
A mythical land of abundance and luxury where everything is easy and plentiful; a utopian fantasy or place of idle contentment.
Etymology
From Old French 'cocaigne,' of obscure origin but possibly from 'cock' plus a suffix, or related to cake/food. Medieval European folklore depicted Cockaigne as a paradise of endless food and pleasure.
Kelly Says
Cockaigne appears in medieval literature as a satirical jab at monk's idle fantasies—there's even a 14th-century poem 'The Land of Cockaigne' describing a world where buildings are made of pastries and rivers flow with wine, mocking the lazy!
