pietn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈpʌɪət/, U.S.

/ˈpaɪət/, Scottish English

/ˈpaɪət/, Irish English

/ˈpaɪət/

Forms: Middle English–1600s piot, 1600s pyet, 1900s– pyat (archaic and poetic), 1900s– pyot (archaic and poetic); English regional (northern and midlands) 1700s– pyat, 1800s– piat, 1800s– piet, 1800s– piot, 1800s– pyatt, 1800s– pyet, 1800s– pyot; also Welsh English (Pembrokeshire) 1800s– pyatt, 1900s– piat, 1900s– pyat, 1900s– pyet; Scottish pre-1700 poyatt, pre-1700 poyit, pre-1700 pyit, pre-1700 pyote, pre-1700 pyott, pre-1700 1700s–1800s piot, pre-1700 1700s– pyat, pre-1700 1700s– pyet, pre-1700 1700s– pyot, pre-1700 1800s piet, 1700s peyet, 1700s–1800s piat, 1800s peat, 1800s peiot; also Irish English (northern) 1800s– pyot, 1900s– piet, 1900s– pyet.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: pie n.¹, -ot suffix.

Etymology: < pie n.¹ + -ot suffix; in many later forms showing remodelling of the ending after -et suffix¹. Compare Old French, Middle French, French piot (second half of the 13th cent.), Middle French, French piat (c1393), both in sense ‘young of the magpie’.The literal meaning at sense A. 2 is likely to be the original sense in English. Earlier currency of the word in Older Scots in this sense is perhaps implied by the surname or nickname Willelmo Pyote (1381).

Now British regional and Irish English (northern).

A. n.

1. A talkative or impertinent person; a gossip. Now rare.See also tale-piet n. at tale n. Compounds 2.
