Si ritiene che il termine abbia origine dalle parole greche pyr (fuoco) + koliòs (fodero) unite ad un suffisso degradativo -acca, da cui pyrcliacca -> purchiacca -> pucchiacca. Il termine significherebbe letteralmente "fodero infuocato".
Altre teorie, meno accreditate, vogliono che il termine derivi da portulaca (un'erba commestibile) o dalla fusione di porc- (ad indicare la scrofa) e dal suffisso dispregiativo -acchia.
