Though actually不過其實，English has another Puck on the same spelling英文裡還有另一個拼法一樣的Puck：a cheeky fairy in old folk stories是老民間故事裡一個調皮的精靈 and in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream也出現在莎士比亞的《仲夏夜之夢》裡。That fairy comes from Old English puca那個精靈的字源是古英文puca，a goblin意思是小妖怪，related to Old Norse púki跟古諾斯語的púki有關，and is a doublet of pooka跟pooka是同源詞。

The hockey puck is a different story冰球的puck是另一個故事 — from, or at least shaped by, Irish poc源自，或至少受愛爾蘭語poc影響，a stroke in the game of hurling指的是愛爾蘭曲棍球hurling裡的一次擊球 (there is also an English verb to puck, to hit; compare poke)（英文裡也有動詞to puck，意思是打；可以對照poke）。When someone says the puck當有人說the puck，they almost always mean the hockey one幾乎都是指冰球那個，unless they are talking about a play除非他們在講一齣戲。
組成Does not split. Hockey sense: from or influenced by Irish poc (a stroke in hurling). The fairy Puck is a separate word, from Old English puca (goblin).
