(From Nova Scotia Place Names, by Thomas J. Brown, 1922.)

CHEZZETCOOK (H.)—The old spelling of this word was "Chillincook". It was once part of and included in Musquodoboit.
The name is from the Micmac Indian "Sesetkook" or "Tceset-kook" meaning "flowing rapidly in many channels."

There seems to be support for both “Chezzencook” and “Chezze’cook.” Also, interesting to find this:

Atmospheric radar map of the Halifax area at around 6 pm. There is a huge band of rain to the west coming closer and closer.

This is something I’ve always found fascinating, that we’re handed a book that doesn’t always distinguish between guidelines, advice, and what the law actually says
