A small pouch or pocket, particularly in Scottish or dialectal English.
From Scottish or Northern English dialect, possibly related to 'fork' or 'furca' (Latin for fork). Medieval English textile terminology.
Firca reminds us that old clothing had pockets as functional design features—people needed small pouches to carry coins, seeds, or tools, centuries before our fashion forgot this brilliant idea.
