語源 1

Origin unknown, possibly related to West Flemish pugge (“(adjective) small; (noun) short person; pet name derived from the first name Pugge”); though it is uncertain whether sense 1 (“senses relating to someone or something small”) and sense 2 (“senses relating to people”) are derived from the same source.

Etymology 1 sense 1.8 (“small demon”) was probably influenced by, though not a variant of, puck.

The verb is derived from the noun.

• related to southern Dutch puggen (“to hit hard”), German pucken (“to beat, thump”), possibly ultimately imitative; or
• related to poke (verb).

It is also uncertain whether the various senses are derived from the same source.
