Oh - great, learned something new today. Now I guess Okrand didn't think
of the German word in first place. The words are obviously related, and
my research showed they have the same origine, from middle French
"perruque", from old Italian "parrucca".

Anyhow, a good way to remember, and still more obvious for Germans than
for English speakers, since "Perücke" is a casual word even today.
