Etymology: < Anglo-Norman pane, panne, pan, paon, variants of pene, penne, and Old French pane, panne, variants of pene, penne, Middle French panne, variant of penne (French panne) fur, especially when used as lining (c1150), lining, also if made of cloth (c1228), long-napped cloth textured in the manner of velvet (c1250), of uncertain origin (see note). Compare post-classical Latin panna fur, skin (early 15th cent.; earlier as penna (11th cent.; 12th cent. in a British source denoting fur edging or lining), pannus (12th cent.)), Old Occitan pena, penna (a1149), Catalan pena (1181), Spanish peña (from 13th to 14th cent.), pana (1817 or earlier; < French). Compare also Italian panno long-napped heavy woollen cloth (1211).The Romance word probably derives < classical Latin pinna feather (see pinna n.²) or penna feather (see pen n.³). For the sense development compare Middle Dutch vedere lining, Middle High German vedere downy fur, fur lining. In sense 1 the word is often difficult to distinguish from pane n.² (compare sense pane n.² 6 s.v.). The two words seem to have been occasionally confused with regard to sense and gender already in Anglo-Norman and post-classical Latin. In English they may have partly merged in the senses ‘rich fabric, costly garment’ (compare sense 1b and sense 6a). In Anglo-Norman the senses ‘furred hood’, ‘cloak, tunic’ are also recorded (compare sense 1a). With sense 2 compare the following:1423 Rolls of Parl. IV. 136 iii panes de Foynes, chescun contenant .c. Bestes, pris le pece xd. It is uncertain whether the following quots. should be interpreted as showing the Middle English or Anglo-Norman word:1346 in J. Raine Testamenta Eboracensia (1836) I. 23 Unam supertunicam de viride melle cum capucio de paunes [perhaps read pannes].1392 in J. Raine Testamenta Eboracensia (1836) I. line 173 j par caligarum de pawnesse. N.E.D. (1904) gives the pronunciation as (pēⁱin) /peɪn/.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman pan, pane, paun and Old French pan the part of a garment that hangs down, i.e. a flap, skirt, or tail, part of a territory (c1100), part of a vertical construction in building, e.g. a wall (c1150), one face of a many-sided object (c1170), part (c1200) < classical Latin pannus a cloth, a piece of cloth (see pannus n.), in post-classical Latin also skirt (late 12th cent. in a British source), side or pane of a building (13th cent.), bedclothes (c1245 in a British source); also pana side of a cloister (1373, 1395, c1400 in British sources), pane of glass (1473 in a British source). Compare Old Occitan pan (13th cent.), Spanish paño (1207), Portuguese pano (1262), Italian panno (13th cent.). Compare panel n.¹For further examples perhaps showing sense 6a see pane n.¹ 1 and see etymological note at that entry. The following quot. perhaps shows an earlier use of the word in sense 7a, although it is unclear whether this is to be interpreted as showing the Middle English or Anglo-Norman word:a1451 in J. Raine Testamenta Eboracensia (1865) III. 99 In aula j dosour rubii et viridis colorum depictus, cont. xxxij panes.
