Etymology

From Middle French, from Old French pochete ‎(“small purse, small bag”), diminutive (with suffix +‎ -ete) of puche ‎(“purse, bag”), from Frankish *pokka, *pukka ‎(“pouch, bag”), from Proto-Germanic *puk-, *pūka- ‎(“bag, pouch”), from Proto-Indo-European *buk-, *bu-, *beu- ‎(“to blow, swell”). Reinforced by Old Norse puki, poki ‎(“bag, pocket”), from Old Northern French. Cognate with Middle Dutch poke, Alemannic German Pfoch ‎(“purse, bag”), Old English pocca, pohha ‎(“poke, pouch, pocket, bag”). Compare English pocket, derived from an Anglo-Norman/Old Northern French variant.
