Definitions and meaning of pucker

pucker

Etymology

Origin obscure. Perhaps continuing Middle English pukkeren (“to hoard, save”, literally “to sack, stow away in a poke or bag”) with a change in meaning (compare to purse (“to pucker”)).
Alternatively, perhaps a direct alteration of poke (verb, or the noun meaning "a small bag").
