The spelling tock is not an actual word, other than the game of that name.

But as part of "tic toc" or "tick tock", it has a short O vowel sound, to rhyme with rock and clock.

How was tock named in The Phantom Tollbooth?

Tock was named by his parents after his brother was named Tick. They thought (before Tick was born) that Tick would have a ticking sound. It turned out that he had a tocking sound. They rushed to the City Hall (or I think it is) to change the name. It was too late. They didn't want that to happen again, so when they had their second child, they named him Tock, thinking, he also had a tocking sound. He didn't. He had a ticking sound. A complete difference of Tick! They, again rushed to City Hall to change Tock's name. They, again, was too late. They were so upset, they decided to never have a child again. Therefore, that is the reason why Tock was named Tock.
