Étymologie

Inherited from Middle French [Term?], from Old French pochete (“small purse, small bag”), diminutive (with suffix -ete) of puche (“purse, bag”), from Frankish *pokō (“pouch, bag”), from Proto-Germanic *pukô (“bag, pouch”), from Proto-Indo-European *bew- (“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 pohha, pocca (“poke, pouch, pocket, bag”). Compare English pocket, derived from an Anglo-Norman/Old Northern French variant.
