Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French bonet, bonnet.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman bonet, bonnet, benet and Old French, Middle French bonet, bonnet, bounet, French bonnet textile material used for hats (12th cent.), headdress, hat, cap (13th cent.), undercap (a1453), fortification outwork in front of the demilune (1678), second stomach of a ruminant (1690), wolfsbane (1704), protective covering (1751 or earlier), in Anglo-Norman also strip of canvas attached to the foot of a sail (1338 or earlier), further origin uncertain; perhaps < post-classical Latin abonnis , obbonis headdress (7th cent.; see note) + French -et -et suffix1.Earlier currency of the sense ‘headdress, hat, cap’ in Old French is suggested by post-classical Latin boneta headdress, hat (a1184 in a French source) and Old High German bonit headdress, hat (12th cent.), both apparently showing borrowing < French. Compare also (all ultimately < French): post-classical Latin bonetus strip of canvas attached to foot of sail (from a1352 in British sources), bonetus , bonetum , bonnetum cap (1531 or earlier); Middle Low German bonit , bonnet hat, cap, and Dutch bonet , bonnet hat, cap (1519), strip of canvas attached to the foot of a sail (1599), extension of the parapet, protective covering (both 19th cent.); and (all in senses ‘headdress, hat, cap, mortarboard’, in later use also ‘the second stomach of a ruminant’) Old Occitan bonet (1484), Catalan bonet (1204), Spanish bonete , †boneto (a1440), Portuguese bonete , boné (1608), Italian bonetto , bonnetto (1545). Etymology of Latin abonnis. Post-classical Latin abonnis , obbonis headdress is perhaps < an unattested compound (in a Germanic language) < the Germanic base of Old High German oba above (see over adj.) + the Germanic base (with zero grade) of bind v. Specific senses. With sense 3 compare Middle French, French bonnet de nuit (1455). With senses 7 and 8 compare also Middle French, French bonnette (1382 in the nautical sense, 1671 in sense ‘outwork in front of the demilune’; compare -ette suffix).
I. An item of headwear.
1.
a. An item of headwear worn by women; (in early use) a soft, brimless cap covering the top and back of the head; (later also) a structured headdress, typically featuring a projecting brim framing the top and sides of the face, and tied with cords under the chin.Since the early 20th cent., bonnets have ceased to be a common item of headwear for adult women except in certain religious communities.
