來自pica,16世紀末英格蘭國教教堂禮儀指導或說明書，可能來自拉丁語pica,喜鵲，詞源同pie,piebald.可能因這種書的紙張顏色或緊密的印刷頁面形如黑白色的喜鵲而得名。后由這本書的印刷字體及字行衍生出印刷術語派卡。

pica 喜鵲，異食癖

來自拉丁語pica,喜鵲，詞源同pie,piebald.因喜鵲食性較雜，所在給人的印象是喜鵲什么都吃，甚至吃石灰粉筆，因此由該詞引申比喻義異食癖。

pica (n.1): "size of type of about six lines to the inch" (12 point), 1580s, probably from pica, name of a book of rules in Church of England for determining holy days (late 15c. in Anglo-Latin), probably from Latin pica "magpie" (see pie (n.2)); the book so called perhaps from the color and the "pied" look of the old type on close-printed pages. The type size was that generally used to print ordinals.
pica (n.2): "pathological craving for substance unfit for food" (such as chalk), 1560s, from Medieval Latin pica "magpie" (see pie (n.2)), probably translating Greek kissa, kitta "magpie, jay," also "false appetite." The connecting notion may be the birds' indiscriminate feeding.
