The term 'purchasing' is from the Middle English purchasen, to pursue, purchase; which from Old French purchacier; which in turn is a combination of pur-, or forth (from Latin pro and chacier, to chase. The question would be more applicable if you were seeking the Latin roots of the older and more out of fashion term 'procurement', which is from the Latin prōcūrāre, or to take care of.
