diapern.

Brit.

/ˈdʌɪ(ə)pə/, U.S.

/ˈdaɪ(ə)pər/

Forms: Middle English–1500s diapre, dyapre, Middle English dyapere, 1500s dyoper, dieper, dyeper, 1500s–1600s dyaper, (1600s dipar, dibar), 1500s– diaper.

Etymology: Middle English < Old French dyapre , diapre , originally diaspre (Godefroy), Provençal diaspre , diaspe , in medieval Latin diasprus adjective, diaspra , diasprum (c1023), noun (Du Cange); in Byzantine Greek δίασπρος adjective, < δια- (dia- prefix¹) + ἄσπρος white. Early French references mention diaspre ‘que fu fais en Costantinoble’ and ‘dyaspre d'Antioch’, and associate it with other fabrics of Byzantine or Levantine origin. Thus, the Roman de la Rose l. 21193 (Meon III. 294) has ‘Cendaux, molequins arrabis, Indes, vermaux, jaunes et bis, Samis, diapres, camelos’. The word occurs in mediæval Greek, c959, in Constantine Porphyrogenitus De Ceremoniis Aulæ Byzant. (Bonn 1829–40, p. 528) where the ἱμάτιον or robe used in the investment of a Rector is described as δίασπρον. On the analogy of διάλευκος, δίασπρος may mean ‘white at intervals, white interspersed with other colour’; though the sense might also be ‘thoroughly’ or ‘pure white.’ In Old French, diaspre is often described as blanc. (Italian diaspro, Spanish diaspro, and Portuguese diaspro ‘jasper’ appear to be unconnected with French diaspre, Provençal diaspre ‘diaper’. Du Cange has mixed up the two. A gratuitous guess that the name was perhaps derived from Ypres in Flanders has no etymological or historical basis.)

I. Senses relating to the fabric or towel.

1. The name of a textile fabric; now, and since the 15th cent., applied to a linen fabric (or an inferior fabric of ‘union’ or cotton) woven with a small and simple pattern, formed by the different directions of the thread, with the different reflexions of light from its surface, and consisting of lines crossing diamond-wise, with the spaces variously filled up by parallel lines, a central leaf or dot, etc.In earlier times, esp. in Old French and medieval Latin, the name was applied to a richer and more costly fabric, apparently of silk, woven or flowered over the surface with gold thread. See Francisque Michel, Recherches sur les Etoffes de Soie, d'Or et d'Argent (Paris 1852) I. 236–44.
