a1677in Rashdall & Rait New College vi. (1901) 156 We call it a Habit, such as New College *Tippiters alwaies wore above their gownes. 1901Ibid., Who constituted this class of tippeters we are unable to explain. [Note. The normal and regular repr. of OE. tæppet down to 1600 was tapet; and phonetic development of i out of a would be abnormal; the rare ME. tepet and Sc. tepat are prob. from tipet. The ordinary meaning of the OE. and ME. word, and of the OHG., was ‘carpet’, as in Latin, but in ælfric's Vocabulary, tæppet occurs under the heading Vestium Nomina, as if a name of a garment. Yet the gloss ‘Sipla an healfhruh tæppet’, seems to come from the same source as one in the 15th c. Nominale, under the heading De Lectis et Ornamentis eorum, ‘Hec amphicapa est tapeta ex utraque parte villosa. Hec sipha idem est’ (Wr.-W. 744/5), where the sipha or tapeta is evidently a bedcover; so that the ælfric entry is prob. placed under the wrong heading. A change of meaning from ‘carpet’ or ‘bedcover’ to the senses above, is very improbable. Derivation of tippet from tip is favoured by the fact that Ger. zipfel, orig. diminutive of zipf ‘tip’, has the senses ‘tip, point, end, lappet, tail’, etc.] ▪ II. tippet, v.2|ˈtɪpɪt|
