From Proto-Finnic *përgat'ak, possibly borrowed from Proto-Germanic *berganą (to take care of, to keep), in which case, a doublet with pärjätä. This has been disputed however.

    • 1899, August Ahlqvist, “Suomen valta”, in Kustavi Grotenfelt, editor, Väinölä: Helmivyö suomalaista runoutta, Porvoo: Werner Söderström:
      Suomalaisen kuokka, aura,
      Kyntäneet on Suomenmaan,
      Kasvoi vehnä taikka kaura,
      Maa on meidän perkamaa.
      The hoe, plough of a Finnish man,
      has plowed the Finnish land,
      Wheat or oats, no matter the grain,
      the land was cleared by us
