Puckish

I feel puckish today. Or am I peckish? Peckish is not in my dictionary, but I think it means slightly hungry. Both these words are in a children's book my son and I are reading (at bedtime). I think the author resides in New Zealand. She has a lovely vocabulary. Last night I encountered the word, flibbertigibbet, yet again. Good thing I write this blog, because I have previously defined that word.

Puckish means mischievous, impish. No etymology is given. Correct me if I am wrong, but I surmise that it is derived from Shakespeare's character, Puck.
