[a. AF. pautener = OF. pautonier (so in Gower), earlier paltunier (12th c., Godef.), ‘a lewd, stubborne, or saucie knaue’ (Cotgr.); in med.L. paltōnārius, in It. paltoniere ‘a paltrie, cheating, loitring companion, also a carier or drouer’ (Florio); deriv. of It. paltone ‘varlet, knaue, rascall’ (Florio), Pr. paltom (Diez). Referred by Diez to a L. type *palito, -ōnem vagabond, vagrant, f. pālitārī (Plautus), iterative of pālārī to wander up and down. A possible source has also been sought in LG. palt bit, piece, e.g. of bread, whence ‘beggar’, Sc. ‘gie's-a-piece’.]
