[a. AF. sarpler (Rolls of Parlt. I. 413, 1321–2), OF. sarpillere (mod.F. serpillière packing cloth) = Pr. sarpelheira, Cat. sarpallera, xarpallera, Sp. arpillera, Pg. sarapilheira.
Littré suggests that the word is a derivative (with suffix -ˈaria: see -er2 2) of late L. xērampelinus (med.L. corruptly xeropellinus, serampelinus, serapellinus) a. Gr. ξηραµπέλινος, of the colour of withered vine-leaves, f. ξηρός dry, withered + ἄµπελος vine. But this derivation has been contested by later philologists. Cf. Fr. dial. (16th c.) serpol bride's trousseau. MDu. had sarpelier, serplier, pack of wool (also sarpeel).]
