Etymology
Originally a variant of a regularly derived piedurtne, from the verb piedurt (“to pin, to attach (with a pin)”) (ultimately derived from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *h₁epi (“at, near”)) + -ne. The original meaning was thus “something attached, sewn (on something else).”[1]
