What cricketing term denotes a batsman being dismissed with a score of zero?

The term "Duck" is used in cricket to denote a batsman being dismissed with a score of zero. This term originated from the idea of a duck being associated with the number zero, as both have a similar shape. When a batsman fails to score a run and gets out without contributing any runs to the team's total, it is referred to as a duck. It symbolizes that the batsman was not able to get off the mark and was dismissed without making any impact on the scoreboard.
