Etymology
Borrowed from Old Norse pipari, or maybe from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old Swedish pipar (whence also Finnish pippuri, dialectal pipari, Estonian pipar), itself a borrowing from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Latin piper, also a borrowing from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Ancient Greek πέπερι (péperi), ultimately from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Sanskrit पिप्पलि (pippali, “long pepper”) (via (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "ira" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E.), apparently also borrowed from some non-Indo-European language. In (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Latvian, pipari is an old borrowing, already found in 15th- and 16h-century family and house names. In 17th- and 18th-century dictionaries, German-influenced variants (pipere, piperis; cf. Low German peper) were found; the form pipari appeared in the 18th century, and became dominant in the 19th century.[1]
