Pierrotn.

Brit.

/ˈpiəˌroʊ/,

/ˈpɪˌroʊ/

Forms: 1700s Perriot (irregular), 1700s– Pierrot. Also with lower-case initial.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French pierrot.

Etymology: < French pierrot (1691 as the name of the character Pierrot, 1748 in sense ‘a kind of close-fitting jacket or bodice worn by women’, 1820 in sense ‘ruff with large folds’) < Pierrot , pet form of the male forename Pierre (see Peter n.; compare -ot suffix).

1. A stock character in French pantomime, usually played as a sentimental lovesick youth with a whitened face, characteristically dressed in a loose white costume with a neck ruff, and a high hat with a wide floppy brim. More generally (usually in form pierrot): a comic or musical entertainer or other character dressed in the style of Pierrot.The character derives from Pedrolino of the Italian Commedia dell'Arte; originally a robust but simple-minded servant, the victim of pranks practised by his fellow comedians, he was gradually transformed by his interpretation in the French theatre.
