pocket[pocket 词源字典]

pocket: [15] A pocket is etymologically a ‘small bag’. It comes from Anglo-Norman poket, a diminutive form of poke ‘bag’ (source of English poke ‘bag’ [13], now used only in the expression ‘buy a pig in a poke’). Its Old French equivalent was poche, source of English pouch [14] (and of poach). This was acquired from Frankish *pokka ‘bag’, a derivative of the same Germanic base (*puk-) as produced English pock (whose plural has become pox) and pucker.
