The word "pun" might possibly come from somebody messing about in the late 1600s with the word pundigrion, which might come from the Italian word puntiglio, which is a trivial objection or an equivocation, which sounds a bit like "punctilio – a very fine point of etiquette – though I don't think the words are related. Got that? I don't, but who cares?!
