First use appears c. 1915–1920, deverbal from mock up (verb), by imitation of French maquette.
noun mock-ups · mockup
- A scale or full-size model of a design or device which is not fully functional, used for teaching, demonstration, design evaluation, promotion, or other purposes. The second-class accommodation shown in mock-up at last year's Railway Design exhibition in London was open saloon, but there is still nagging concern that the public has expressed a clear preference for compartments.
- A prototype, usually low-fidelity, such as a paper illustration, screenshot, or simple screen configuration with limited interaction. I knew that the software was a mock up and as such it would require the team at least half an hour to put together the components before I could proceed.
